There was no significant difference between serum Interleukin-6 level in patients with and without significant coronary stenosis ( p=0.301).Conclusion : There was no significant difference between serum Interleukin-6 level in patients with and without significant coronary stenosis.Keywords : Interleukin-6, Atherosclerosis, CHD
