The observational study aims to evaluate inflammatory markers, cell adhesion molecules (CAM) and endothelial dysfunction markers as biomarkers in Indian ACS patients with no conventional risk factors. The study population included 110 healthy individuals and 102 ACS patients without any history of conventional risk factors, except smoking and alcoholism, were included. Patient history, biochemical parameters and levels of biomarkers were estimated. ACS patients had a significant elevation in the circulatory levels of biomarkers, such as IL-6, TNF-α, MCP1, MMP9, VCAM1, ICAM1 and E-selectin. CAM, inflammatory and endothelial biomarkers could help devise strategies for early, effective treatment of ACS.
