In this study the cases with age more than 35 years irrespective of gender were included. Unstable angina was labelled according to presence of pain of 5 or more on visual analogue scale present at the centre of the chest, crushing or pressing in nature and persisting for less than 30 minutes and cardiac enzymes i.e. trop T falling in its normal limit irrespective of ECG changes. Raised value of IL-6 was labeled when it was > 5 ng/ml. Results; In this study there were total 100 cases of unstable angina with mean age 57.34±8.67 years with age range of 35 to 79 years. There were 32 (32%) cases with DM and 38 (38%) had HTN. Raised IL-6 levels were noted in 61 (61%) cases. There was no significant difference in terms of gender regarding raised IL-6 with p= 0.49. IL-6 was significantly high in cases with DM and HTN where they were noted in 24 (75%) and 29 (76.31%) cases with p values of 0.01 each. Conclusion; Raised Interleukin-6 level is seen in every 2 out of 3 cases and it is significantly high in cases of HTN and DM.
