Elevated high sensitivity C-reactive protein and uric acid levels in coronary artery ectasia.
AIM The aim of this study is to examine uric asid (UA) and high sensitive C-Reactive protein (Hs-CRP) levels in patients with coronary artery ectasia (CAE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-eight patients with isolated CAE (mean age 57.5±10.3), (group-I), 110 patients with CAD but without CAE (mean age 56.3±10.7), (group-II), and 105 patients with normal coronary angiographies (mean age 58.1±10.8...
متن کاملElevated C-reactive protein levels and coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease.
AIMS It is still unknown whether elevated C-reactive protein levels are responsible for coronary microcirculatory dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This study was aimed at evaluating the association between C-reactive protein levels and endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent coronary blood flow (CBF) responses in non-culprit arteries of patients with CAD. ...
متن کاملHigh sensitivity C-reactive protein levels across spectrum and severity of coronary artery disease
Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase reactant protein synthesized by the liver in response to acute stress in a wide range of acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. In healthy subjects and patients presenting with coronary artery disease (CAD), elevated levels of CRP has repeatedly been demonstrated to predict future cardiovascular events. Methods: We measured high sensiti...
متن کاملCharacteristics of coronary artery ectasia and its association with carotid intima-media thickness and high sensitivity C-reactive protein.
This study was conducted to uncover the relation between coronary artery ectasia (CAE) and markers of atherosclerosis. A total of 1611 coronary angiograms were prospectively examined to find out patients with CAE. Those patients were divided into 2 groups: Mixed CAE with stenotic coronary artery disease (CAD) “group 1” and pure CAE “group 2”. Two control groups of age-adjusted subjects were sel...
متن کاملThe relationship between elevated magnesium levels and coronary artery ectasia
BACKGROUND Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) without specific symptoms is the localised or diffuse swelling of the epicardial coronary arteries. Magnessium (Mg) plays an important role in cardiac excitability, vascular tonus, contractibility, reactivity and vasodilatation. In our research, we aimed to study the vasodilatory effect of Mg in the aetiopathogenesis of ectasia. METHODS Patients identi...
