High Sensitivity C–Reactive Protein and Im-munoglobulin G against Chlamydia Pneumo-niae and Chlamydial Heat Shock Protein-60 in Ischemic Heart Disease
Background: Inflammation and infectious agents such as Chlamydia pneumoniae have been associated with cardiovascular disease. Objective: To evaluate the serum high sensitivity C - reactive protein (hs-CRP) and antibodies against Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydial heat shock protein-60 (Cp-HSP60) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). Methods: 62 patients with IHD having either acute my...
متن کاملHigh sensitivity C-reactive protein levels across spectrum and severity of coronary artery disease
Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase reactant protein synthesized by the liver in response to acute stress in a wide range of acute and chronic inflammatory conditions. In healthy subjects and patients presenting with coronary artery disease (CAD), elevated levels of CRP has repeatedly been demonstrated to predict future cardiovascular events. Methods: We measured high sensiti...
متن کاملAssociation between high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and/or microembolic signals after carotid angioplasty and stenting
Background: To evaluate the association between pre/post-procedural high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level and hs-CRP difference, and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) or new diffusion-weighted MRI lesions after carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS). Methods: In this study, conducted in 2016 in Shiraz (Iran), patients who underwent diagnostic angiography and CAS...
متن کاملHigh-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Cancer
BACKGROUND High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a commonly used inflammatory marker. The association between hs-CRP and cancer is less consistent than that between hs-CRP and cardiovascular diseases. This study explored the association between hs-CRP and cancer, using a large database of Korean health examination records. METHODS A total of 80,781 Koreans who visited the health pro...
متن کاملSerum Alkaline Phosphatase and Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease: Interrelationship with High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
BACKGROUND Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) has been suggested to be associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, however, important aspects of the association, such as shape and independence from established risk factors, have yet to be characterized in detail. We assessed the association of ALP with CVD risk and determined its utility for CVD risk prediction. METHODS Alkaline phosphatase ac...
