C-reactive protein modulates risk prediction based on the Framingham Score: implications for future risk assessment: results from a large cohort study in southern Germany.
BACKGROUND The Framingham Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) prediction score is recommended for global risk assessment in subjects prone to CHD. Recently, C-reactive protein (CRP) has emerged as an independent predictor of CHD. We sought to assess the potential of CRP measurements to enhance risk prediction based on the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) in a large cohort of middle-aged men from the genera...
متن کاملPlasma concentration of C-reactive protein and the calculated Framingham Coronary Heart Disease Risk Score.
BACKGROUND Although C-reactive protein (CRP) predicts vascular risk, few data are available evaluating the relation between CRP and the Framingham Coronary Heart Disease Risk Score (FCRS). METHODS AND RESULTS CRP levels were compared with calculated 10-year FCRS in a cross-sectional survey of 1666 individuals free of cardiovascular disease. Among men and women not using hormone replacement th...
متن کاملC-reactive protein, the metabolic syndrome, and prediction of cardiovascular events in the Framingham Offspring Study.
BACKGROUND Inflammation (assessed by C-reactive protein [CRP]) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), but population-based data are limited. METHODS AND RESULTS We assessed the cross-sectional relations of CRP to the MetS (National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults...
متن کاملC-reactive protein and parental history improve global cardiovascular risk prediction: the Reynolds Risk Score for men.
BACKGROUND High-sensitivity C-reactive protein and family history are independently associated with future cardiovascular events and have been incorporated into risk prediction models for women (the Reynolds Risk Score for women); however, no cardiovascular risk prediction algorithm incorporating these variables currently exists for men. METHODS AND RESULTS Among 10 724 initially healthy Amer...
متن کاملC-reactive protein and reclassification of cardiovascular risk in the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND The relationship of circulating levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, particularly with consideration of effects at intermediate levels of risk, has not been fully assessed. METHODS AND RESULTS Among 3006 offspring participants in the Framingham Heart Study free of CVD (mean age, 46 years at baseline), there were 129 hard corona...
