AB  - Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) plays a crucial role both in the 
      initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. MCP-1 is a unique cytokine 
      produced by macrophages, smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells within 
      atherosclerotic plaques and seems to be a reliable indicator of atherosclerotic 
      plaque burden. Higher levels of MCP-1 have been associated with a poor prognosis 
      and increased risk for death independent of other risk factors in patients with 
      acute coronary syndromes. In this paper, we discussed the role of MCP-1 in the 
      pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes.
