Associations of pentraxin 3 with cardiovascular disease and all-cause death: the Cardiovascular Health Study.
OBJECTIVE We examined associations of pentraxin 3 (PTX3), a vascular inflammation marker, with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause death. METHODS AND RESULTS 1583 Cardiovascular Health Study participants free of prevalent CVD were included. Nonexclusive case groups were angina (n=476), myocardial infarction (MI; n=237), stroke (n=310), CVD death (n=282), and all-cause death (n...
متن کاملAssociations between pentraxin 3 and severity of coronary artery disease
OBJECTIVE To investigate the associations between plasma levels of pentraxins 3 (PTX3) and C reactive protein (CRP) and the severity of coronary artery lesions. DESIGN AND METHODS 60 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) in our hospital were included. Plasma was collected during CAG. The coronary Gensini score was used to evaluate the severity of ...
متن کاملPlasma pentraxin 3 in patients with chronic kidney disease: associations with renal function, protein-energy wasting, cardiovascular disease, and mortality.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Plasma protein pentraxin 3 concentrations are elevated in a wide range of diseased states. However, no study has evaluated protein pentraxin 3 in patients with chronic kidney disease. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Plasma protein pentraxin 3 concentrations were analyzed in relation to GFR, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and protein-energy wastin...
متن کاملPentraxin 3: A Novel Biomarker for Inflammatory Cardiovascular Disease
Numerous studies have recently examined the role of pentraxin 3 (PTX3) in clinical situations. The pentraxin family includes C-reactive protein (CRP); however, unlike CRP, PTX3 is expressed predominantly in atherosclerotic lesions that involve macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, or smooth muscle cells. Interestingly, PTX3 gene expression in human endothelial cells is suppressed to a grea...
متن کاملChronic kidney disease, all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality among Chinese patients with established cardiovascular disease.
AIM This study was conducted to investigate the role of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in 1-year all cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality among Chinese patients who were at least 50 years old and had a history of coronary artery disease (CAD), stroke, or peripheral vascular disease (PAD), or with two or more cardiovascular risks. METHODS Of 3,732 hospitalized patients enrolled, 3,423 pa...
