Coronary Plaque Characteristics Assessed by 256-Slice Coronary CT Angiography and Association with High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in Symptomatic Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Little is known regarding plaque distribution, composition, and the association with inflammation in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). This study aimed to assess the relationship between coronary plaque subtypes and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels. Coronary CTA were performed in 98 symptomatic DM2 patients and 107 non-DM2 patients using a 256-slice CT. The extent and types of plaque as...
متن کاملProblems with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein.
To the Editor: Last year, Ockene et al. (1) published a report in this journal that made the claim that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) has a degree of measurement stability that is similar to that of total cholesterol and that this provides further evidence of the potential clinical utility of hs-CRP screening as a novel tool for vascular risk prediction. The key evidence that Ock...
متن کاملComparison of values of wide-range C-reactive protein to high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in patients undergoing coronary angiography.
This study compared the recently introduced cheaper and more accessible wide-range C-reactive protein (wr-CRP) with the commonly used high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients undergoing coronary angiography. One hundred fifty-two consecutive patients who were admitted to a tertiary medical center and underwent angiography were included in the study. Arterial blood was obtained f...
متن کاملchanges of high sensitivity c-reactive protein during clopidogrel therapy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
conclusions we found that the use of clopidogrel in patients undergoing pci had favorable effects on the suppression of hs-crp. this effect appears to be heightened and more apparent in some group of patients with co-morbidities such as diabetes and hypertension. results six hundred-fifty patients including 386 (59.4%) male and 264 (40.6%) female subjects were enrolled in the study. the mean hs...
متن کاملHigh-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Cancer
BACKGROUND High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a commonly used inflammatory marker. The association between hs-CRP and cancer is less consistent than that between hs-CRP and cardiovascular diseases. This study explored the association between hs-CRP and cancer, using a large database of Korean health examination records. METHODS A total of 80,781 Koreans who visited the health pro...
