Gender differences between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and intima media thickness progression.
Gender Differences Between High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Intima Media Thickness Progression To the Editor: Sander et al1 have performed an excellent study demonstrating a significant sex difference in early atherosclerotic progression using high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). They have also showed that hsCRP failed to be associated with intima media thickness (IMT) progressio...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein is not associated with carotid intima-media progression: the carotid atherosclerosis progression study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE It is unclear whether elevated serum C-reactive protein (CRP) is causal to the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. We undertook a prospective longitudinal cohort study to address this question. METHODS In a population-based sample of 3122 subjects, we measured carotid intima media thickness (IMT) at baseline and after 3 years and surveyed clinical events. Ass...
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 کاملCarotid intima media thickness and high sensitivity C-reactive protein as markers of cardiovascular risk in a malaysian population.
INTRODUCTION Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) being a cost effective and easily performed technique is useful in the detection of subclinical atherosclerosis and has been shown to be a prognosticator of cardiovascular events. The primary objective of this study was to obtain the distribution of CIMT measurements, highly sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) and assessing health awareness a...
متن کاملGender differences in association between metabolic syndrome and carotid intima media thickness
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (Mets) is a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors which can predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD). Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is known as a surrogate measure of subclinical atherosclerosis and predictor of CVD. Although, it has shown the association between Mets and CIMT, this relation regarding sex differences is limited. We aimed to find out whether g...
