Aims: To evaluate the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers and lipid parameters in a Tunisian coronary artery disease group. Material and Methods: In the study, we have included 122 subjects with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) confirmed by coronary angiography, selected among patients admitted to the cardiology department and 162 subjects free of any cardiovascular disease, recruited from medical and paramedical volunteers. Lipid parameters, high sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) and proinflammatory cytokines (IL6, IL8 and TNFα) were determined for all patients and controls. Results: A highly significant difference (P < 10 −3 ) was noted between the mean of the hsCRP in coronary patients (14.65 ± 9.81 mg/L) compared to controls (1.63 ± 1.75 mg/L). We note also a significant difference between the means of IL6 in the diseased population (11.56 ± 8.23 pg/mL) compared to controls (2.5 ± 0.84 pg/mL) with a value of P < 10
