High-sensitivity C-reactive protein is quite low in Japanese men at high coronary risk.
BACKGROUND Although numerous studies have demonstrated a positive association of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) with the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD), little information exists regarding this issue in Japanese. METHODS AND RESULTS The association between CRP and the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) was investigated in 2,523 middle-aged Japanese men without a medical history...
متن کاملHigh and low dose atorvastatin effects on high sensivity C-reactive protein in patient with acute coronary syndrome
Introduction: The effect of statins in reducing the risk of acute cardiovascular events is not only due to their effect on serum cholesterol level but also from their anti-inflammatory effects, particularly those resulting from reducing of C - reactive protein (CRP), is important. Atorvastatin dose and duration of treatment display different effects. This study compared the effects of high and ...
متن کاملDietary carbohydrate intake and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in at-risk women and men.
BACKGROUND The quality and quantity of dietary carbohydrate intake, measured as dietary glycemic load (GL), are associated with a number of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and, in healthy young women, are related to increased high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) concentrations. Our objective was to determine if GL is related to hsCRP and other measures of CVD risk in a populati...
متن کاملchanges of high sensitivity c-reactive protein during clopidogrel therapy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
conclusions we found that the use of clopidogrel in patients undergoing pci had favorable effects on the suppression of hs-crp. this effect appears to be heightened and more apparent in some group of patients with co-morbidities such as diabetes and hypertension. results six hundred-fifty patients including 386 (59.4%) male and 264 (40.6%) female subjects were enrolled in the study. the mean hs...
متن کاملHigh sensitivity C-reactive protein in asthma.
Asthma is characterised by chronic inflammation of the airways, but the relevance of high-sensitivity assays for C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), which are known to be a sensitive marker of low-grade systemic inflammation, has not been fully studied in asthma. The objective was to examine serum hs-CRP levels in patients with asthma and their relationship to clinical characteristics and degree of ai...
