Background Immune mechanisms have been suggested to play an important role in the
development of coronary atherosclerosis and its thrombotic complications. We evaluated the
predictive value of the levels of various serum immunoglobulin classes in middle-aged men
at increased risk of myocardial infarction. Methods Using nested case-control design and
logistic regression analysis, we estimated the association between serum immunoglobulins
and the risk of coronary end points (nonfatal or fatal myocardial infarction or sudden cardiac …
