Serum Alkaline Phosphatase and Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease: Interrelationship with High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
BACKGROUND Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) has been suggested to be associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, however, important aspects of the association, such as shape and independence from established risk factors, have yet to be characterized in detail. We assessed the association of ALP with CVD risk and determined its utility for CVD risk prediction. METHODS Alkaline phosphatase ac...
متن کاملHigh sensitivity C-reactive protein and cardiovascular disease: an association built on unstable foundations?
There is considerable interest in the inflammatory hypothesis of vascular disease. Markers of inflammation predict vascular events, and inflammatory cells and molecules are critical elements within plaques and are especially prominent in unstable lesions. With respect to screening, concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), as determined by high-sensitivity assays, have been consistently shown...
متن کاملThe Role and Clinical Significance of High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in Cardiovascular Disease
Atherosclerosis, the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, is characterized by chronic inflammation in the artery wall. It has been considered for decades that this disease is associated with hypercholesterolemia and the accumulation of macrophage-derived foamy cells in the arterial wall. While inflammation is involved in initiation, progression, and complication of the atherosclerotic proce...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein and cardiovascular disease: a resolute belief or an elusive link?
The role of inflammation in the propagation of atherosclerosis and susceptibility to cardiovascular (CV) events is well established. Of the wide array of inflammatory biomarkers that have been studied, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) has received the most attention for its use in screening and risk reclassification and as a predictor of clinical response to statin therapy. Although ...
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...
