Results 206 patients with unstable angina and 209 patients with stable angina pectoris were compared, we found patients with unstable angina HMGB1 was significantly higher than those with stable angina before PCI (p<0.05). The levels of HMGB1 were significantly increased after PCI, 30 min to reach the peak, then back to normal at 120 min. both had the same trend.
