THE ANALYSIS OF MONOCYTE CHEMOATTRACTANT PROTEIN-1 AND HIGH SENSITIVITY C-REACTIVE PROTEIN IN HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY

Prognostic Significance of Plasma High‐Sensitivity C‐Reactive Protein in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

BACKGROUND Elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) has been associated with increased risks of adverse outcomes of various cardiovascular diseases. The relationship between hsCRP and the prognosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy remains to be evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS The study used an observational cohort methodology. A total of 490 patients were enrolled in the Fuwai Hospit...

Expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.

Immunological factors have been involved in the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The cytotoxic action of macrophages is one of the main factors causing cardiac myocyte damage. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) is a major signal for the accumulation of monocytes/macrophages. We examined whether MCP-1 was expressed in the myocardium of DCM patients and whether the expression...

Serum Levels of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 Correlate with Poor Clinical Grades in Cerebral Aneurysms

Background : Ruptured cerebral aneurysms (ICAs) are the most common non-traumatic cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) that is associated with life threatening complications such as Vasospasm, Infarction, and Hydrocephalus (HCP). The active participation of macrophage/monocyte-mediated inflammatory response in the pathogenesis of cerebral aneurysm as labeled with Monocyte ChemoattractantProte...

The Effect of Resistance Training on Levels of Interlukine-6 and High-Sensitivity C - reactive protein in Older-Aged Women

Introduction: Aging is associated with elevated levels of some proinflammatory factors and exercise is a non-invasive intervention to improve immune function among older adults .The aim of the study was to compare resistance training effects on interlukine-6 (IL-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in older-aged women. Methods: The study was quasi-experimental and for...
