Proposed cardiovascular risk assessment algorithm using high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and lipid screening.
Several prospective epidemiologic studies from the United States and Europe have demonstrated that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a predictor of future coronary events among apparently healthy men and women. For example, findings from the Multiple Risk Factors Intervention Trial demonstrated a correlation between hs-CRP and coronary heart disease mortality among male smokers fo...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein: potential adjunct for global risk assessment in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Inflammation plays a major role in atherothrombosis, and measurement of inflammatory markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HSCRP) may provide a novel method for detecting individuals at high risk of plaque rupture. Several large-scale prospective studies demonstrate that HSCRP is a strong independent predictor of future myocardial infarction and stroke among apparently healthy me...
متن کاملSerum 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 کاملCumulative Exposure to High‐Sensitivity C‐Reactive Protein Predicts the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
BACKGROUND One measurement of hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The objective of this study was to characterize the association of cumulative exposure to increased hs-CRP with incident cardiovascular events. METHODS AND RESULTS We included 53 065 participants with hs-CRP measured at 3 examinations in 2006, 2008, and...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein as cardiovascular risk marker in patients with diabetes mellitus.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a liver-derived pattern recognition molecule that is increased in inflammatory states. It rapidly increases within hours after tissue injury, and it is suggested that it is part of the innate immune system and contributes to host defense. Since cardiovascular disease is at least in part an inflammatory process, CRP has been investigated in the context of arterioscler...
