<prompt> Best marker for Cardiac events?hsCRPHomocysteine levelsInterleukin-6P-selectin  <response>: ANSWER: A hsCRPREF: Braunwald 8th ed chapter 39Although hsCRP is by far the best-characterized and most reliable inflammatory biomarker for clinical use, several other markers of inflammation have shown promise in terms of predicting coronary vascular risk.These includeCytokines such as interleukin-6soluble forms of certain cell adhesion molecules such as intercellular adhesion molecule sICAM-1P-selectinMediator CD40 ligandMarkers of leukocyte activation such as myeloperoxidase.Other inflammatory markers associated with lipid oxidation such as lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A;, and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A have also shown promiseRelative risk of future cardiac events in Increasing order1 Lipoproteina2 Homocysteine3 Interleukin-64 Total cholesterol5 Low-density lipoprotein LDL cholesterol6 Soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 sICAM-17 Serum amyloid A8 Apolipoprotein B9 Ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol TC:HDiq10 High-sensitivity C-reactive protein hsCRP11 Combination of hsCRP with the TOHDLC
