C reactive protein and microvascular function.
Emerging data suggest that C reactive protein may be a mediator as well as a marker of atherosclerosis
متن کاملCARDIOVASCULAR MEDICINE Relation between C reactive protein concentrations and coronary microvascular endothelial function
Objective: To determine how C reactive protein (CRP), a sensitive marker of inflammation, is related to coronary endothelial function. Design: Changes in quantitative coronary angiographic findings and Doppler flow velocity measurements in response to locally infused acetylcholine were assessed. Setting: Tertiary cardiology centre. Patients: 46 patients with angiographically normal coronary art...

متن کاملC-REACTIVE PROTEIN RESPONSE IN ANGINA PECTORIS
C-reactive protein (CRP) response was studied in 44 patients with acute angina pectoris admitted to the coronary care unit. 71 % of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI)had positive CRP test while 73% of patients presumed to have unstable angina pectoris had negative CRP test. This test can be helpful in differentiating between acute MI and unstable angina pectoris.
متن کاملC-reactive protein: structure affects function.
C-reactive protein (CRP), formerly considered solely as a biomarker for inflammation, is now viewed as a prominent partaker in endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis.2,3 Serving clinically for several years as a nonspecific marker for inflammatory processes, CRP, with the advent of high-sensitivity assays, has emerged as one of the most powerful independent predictors of cardiovascular dis...
