Coronary artery disease is attaining epidemic proportions in India. Higher levels of C-reactive protein were connected to an augmented risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). &nbsp;TNF-alpha & IL-6 contribute in the pathogenesis of CHD and their levels are closely linked with the extent of coronary heart disease.<br> <strong>Aim and objectives: </strong>This objective of this review is to analyze the status of inflammatory markers and to establish their relation with the extent of CAD.<br> <strong>Methodology:</strong> The literature search for this review was done through databases incorporated are PubMed, Web of sciences, Scopus, Medline, Research Gate and Google scholar. The keywords used were &ldquo;coronary artery disease&rdquo;, &ldquo;inflammatory markers,&rdquo; and &ldquo;cytokines in inflammation&rdquo;. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Research and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) were used to build this review article.<br> <strong>Results: </strong>There were 1860 articles found which were relevant to the aim of our review, out of which only 57 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. A substantial variability across the studies was found. To figure out its correlation with inflammatory processes, these studies employed a variety of inflammatory markers. Most studies found a high level of inflammatory markers such as IL-6, TNF-alpha, and CRP in patients with coronary artery disease and cardiovascular disease.<br> <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Data from the literature searched highlighted a significant association between inflammatory markers and CAD.</span></span></span></div> Coronary artery disease, IL-6, TNF-alpha, CRP, Inflammation 82 103 http://ijbc.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-2094-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Priya Anjali priyaanjali01116@gmail.com 100319475328460012943 100319475328460012943 Yes Department of Biochemistry, Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical College and Research Centre, Teerthanker Mahaveer University, Moradabad, UP, India.
