We describe how innate and adaptive immune cascades trigger the release of cytokines and chemokines, resulting in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. We discuss how cytokines have direct and indirect effects on myocardial function.
Statins may act on an enzyme called endothelial nitric oxide synthase, which stimulates nitric oxide production. Increased nitric oxide has anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting effects...
