C-reactive protein and coronary disease.
Inflammation has been proposed as a contributor to different stages in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CHD), including the lifelong process of atherogenesis, the acute atherothrombotic event that causes ischemic necrosis in acute myocardial infarction, and the myocardial damage after ischemia.1,2 C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute-phase plasma protein synthesized by the liver, is th...
متن کاملPrognostic value of C-Reactive Protein in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is among the most common, serious, chronic and life- threatening illnesses in the world. CAD represents a spectrum of conditions, with acute myocardial infarction at one end of it and silent ischemia at the other. There is growing evidence on importance of prognosis of C- reactive protein (CPR) in unstable angina and this protein is a maker of an adve...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF SERUM CHITINASE-3 LIKE 1 PROTEIN AND C-REACTIVE PROTEIN LEVELS IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE COMPARED TO DIABETIC AND HEALTHY CONTROL
Background: Diabetes mellitus, which is associated with elevated blood glucose, lipids and liver enzymes, may results in alterations in the production of inflammatory cytokines, including chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), which induce and promote complications of diabetes such as atherosclerosis.The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum ...
متن کاملC-reactive protein--a screening test for coronary disease?
C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of a number of substances termed "acute phase reactants," biologic substances that appear in the circulation when an active inflammatory process occurs. Although traditionally used to monitor or detect major infectious or inflammatory conditions, elevations of CRP levels within the conventional range of "normals" has been intensively studied as a marker for coron...
متن کاملC-reactive Protein: Screening of Coronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death in the United States, resulted in 459,841 deaths in 1998 and accounted for one of every five deaths. CAD is the leading cause of premature and permanent disability in the United States and in 1997, $10.8 billion was paid by Medicare for CAD. Numerous studies suggest that inflammatory changes in the vessel walls initiate atherosclerosis. ...
