Prognostic evaluation of soluble CD40L in acute myocardial infarction: is not fancy, is science!

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a critical clinical presentation of coronary artery disease (CAD). As pointed out previously by us (1), major clinical research efforts have been dedicated to the identification of patients at higher risk and to the diagnosis of CAD and AMI. Although a great pool of information concerning systemic inflammation markers have been so far collected in different cardiovascular conditions, the evolution of AMI is not well depicted (1).
