Utility of C-reactive protein measurement in risk stratification during primary cardiovascular disease prevention.
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) adds prognostic information beyond that provided by the Framingham risk score. The clinical utility of hs-CRP evaluation per guidelines was investigated by determining how it changed the cardiovascular risk stratification of 100 patients deemed at intermediate risk. Screening guidelines defined the cardiovascular risk due to hs-CRP as low (<1.0 mg/L)...
متن کاملPlasma concentration of C-reactive protein and the calculated Framingham Coronary Heart Disease Risk Score.
BACKGROUND Although C-reactive protein (CRP) predicts vascular risk, few data are available evaluating the relation between CRP and the Framingham Coronary Heart Disease Risk Score (FCRS). METHODS AND RESULTS CRP levels were compared with calculated 10-year FCRS in a cross-sectional survey of 1666 individuals free of cardiovascular disease. Among men and women not using hormone replacement th...
متن کاملThe Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the C-reactive Protein Gene: are they Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Risk?
Recent pre-clinical and clinical studies have revealed the C-reactive protein gene (CRP) is related to the degree of acute rise in plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Moreover, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CRP gene could associate with increased risk of cancer, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, obstructive pulmonary disease,...
متن کاملC-reactive protein and reclassification of cardiovascular risk in the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND The relationship of circulating levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, particularly with consideration of effects at intermediate levels of risk, has not been fully assessed. METHODS AND RESULTS Among 3006 offspring participants in the Framingham Heart Study free of CVD (mean age, 46 years at baseline), there were 129 hard corona...
متن کاملSubclinical cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women with low/medium cardiovascular risk by the Framingham risk score.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prevalence of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its association with clinical and hormone variables in postmenopausal women from Southern Brazil. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Coronary artery calcification (CAC) assessed by electron-beam computed tomography. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and atheromatous plaques assess...
