High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) & cardiovascular disease: An Indian perspective
The role of low grade systemic inflammation as evidenced by elevated high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic vascular disease has been intensely investigated through observational studies and clinical trials in the past two decades. On the basis of evidence that has accrued, hsCRP measurement has been integrated into the Reynolds risk scoring sy...
متن کاملAssociation of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) with established cardiovascular risk factors in the Indian population
INTRODUCTION Inflammation, the key regulator of C-reactive protein (CRP) synthesis, plays a pivotal role in atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease. METHODS High sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) analysis was carried out in randomly selected 600 individuals from the sentinel surveillance study in Indian industrial population (SSIP). The hsCRP was measured quantitatively by turbid metric test using kits...
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 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 for predicting cardiovascular disease: an inflammatory hypothesis.
Hyperlipidaemia is present in only half of all patients who develop coronary heart disease. Over the past several years evidence has accumulated that inflammatory mechanisms play a pivotal role in the genesis of atherosclerosis and its complications. Attention has thus focused on whether circulating markers of inflammation can provide a new method to improve cardiovascular risk prediction. Thes...
