C-reactive protein and the prediction of cardiovascular events among those at intermediate risk: moving an inflammatory hypothesis toward consensus.
Over 20 large-scale prospective studies show that the inflammatory biomarker high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is an independent predictor of future cardiovascular events that additionally predicts risk of incident hypertension and diabetes. In many studies, the relative impact of hsCRP is at least as large as that individually of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipo...
متن کاملC-reactive protein in the prediction of cardiovascular events.
1059 respect to the discontinuation of aspirin, the transfusion of platelets, and the use of antifibrinolytic therapy — all of which are associated with worsened morbidity. Nor did isolated group differences confound our findings. In addition, as Topol elegantly states, we should not discount the compelling experiences with aspirin therapy in at-risk medical patients. In conclusion, we are left...
متن کاملC-reactive protein, subclinical atherosclerosis, and risk of cardiovascular events.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an independent determinant of risk of stroke among both men and women. For instance, in the Framingham Study, the relative risk for future stroke for the highest quartile of CRP compared with the lowest was 2.0 for men and 2.7 for women.1 The association between CRP and risk of stroke among men and women in this cohort persisted after adjustment for age, smoking, tot...
متن کاملThe Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the C-reactive Protein Gene: are they Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Risk?
Recent pre-clinical and clinical studies have revealed the C-reactive protein gene (CRP) is related to the degree of acute rise in plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Moreover, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CRP gene could associate with increased risk of cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, obstructive pulmonary disease,...
متن کاملAssociation between high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and/or microembolic signals after carotid angioplasty and stenting
Background: To evaluate the association between pre/post-procedural high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level and hs-CRP difference, and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or new diffusion-weighted MRI lesions after carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS). Methods: In this study, conducted in 2016 in Shiraz (Iran), patients who underwent diagnostic angiography and CAS...
