Abstract

Background The intercellular adhesion molecule ICAM-1 mediates adhesion and transmigration of leucocytes to the vascular endothelial wall, a step proposed to be critical in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Whether concentrations of soluble ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) are raised in apparently healthy individuals who later suffer acute myocardial infarction is unknown.Methods We obtained baseline plasma samples from a prospective cohort of 14,916 healthy men enrolled in the Physicians' Health Study. With a nested case-control design, we measured sICAM-1 concentrations for 474 participants who developed a first myocardial infarction, and 474 controls (participants who remained healthy throughout the 9-year follow-up). Cases were matched to controls according to age and smoking status at the time of myocardial infarction.Findings We found a significant association between increasing concentration of sICAM-1 and risk of future myocardial infarction (p = 0.003), especially among participants with baseline sICAM-1 concentrations in the highest quartile (> 260 ng/mL; relative risk 1.6 [95% Cl 1.1-2.4], p = 0.02). This association was present overall as well as among non-smokers, and persisted after control for lipid and non-lipid risk factors. In multivariate analyses, the risk of future myocardial infarction was 80% higher for participants with baseline sICAM-1 concentrations in the highest quartile (relative risk 1.8 [1.1-2.8], p = 0.02). Similar risk estimates were seen among non-smokers. We found slight but significant correlations between sICAM-1 and fibrinogen, high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol, homocysteine, triglycerides, tissue-type plasminogen-activator antigen, and C-relative protein, but adjustment for these altered the risk little. The risk of myocardial infarction associated with raised concentrations of sICAM-1 seemed to increase with length of follow-up.Interpretation Our data support the hypothesis that cellular mediators of inflammation have a role in atherogenesis and provide a clinical basis to consider antiadhesion therapies as a novel means of cardiovascular disease prevention.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
