High-sensitivity C-reactive protein, obesity, and subclinical atherosclerosis: implications of JUPITER from the MESA study.
The recent results of Justification for the Use of Statins in Prevention: An Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosuvastatin (JUPITER) trial4 demonstrated that the treatment with rosuvastatin, 20 mg daily, as compared with placebo, was associated with a 44% reduction in the cumulative incidence of major CVD events among 17 802 middle-aged healthy men and women with low levels of low-density lipoprot...
متن کاملClinical and Population Studies Association Between Obesity, High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein >2 mg/L, and Subclinical Atherosclerosis Implications of JUPITER from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Objective—High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels are closely associated with abdominal obesity, metabolic syndrome, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The Justification for the Use of Statins in Primary Prevention: An Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosuvastatin (JUPITER) trial has encouraged using hsCRP 2 mg/L to guide statin therapy; however, the association of hsCRP and at...

متن کاملRelationship Between C-Reactive Protein and Subclinical Atherosclerosis
Background—Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with increased risk for incident cardiovascular events on the basis of observations from several prospective epidemiological studies. However, less is known regarding the relationship between CRP levels and atherosclerotic burden. Methods and Results—We measured CRP in 3373 subjects 30 to 65 years of age who were participatin...
متن کاملRelationship between High-Density Lipoprotein and C-reactive Protein in Patients with Atherosclerosis
Abstract Background and Objective: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease mostly caused by oxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDLs) while High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) oppose atherosclerosis by inhibiting the oxidation of LDLs. Serum concentration of C- reactive protein (CRP) also increases as an acute phase protein in inflammatory conditions like atherosclerosis. We aimed to evalu...
