High sensitivity C-reactive protein for predicting cardiovascular disease: an inflammatory hypothesis.
Hyperlipidaemia is present in only half of all patients who develop coronary heart disease. Over the past several years evidence has accumulated that inflammatory mechanisms play a pivotal role in the genesis of atherosclerosis and its complications. Attention has thus focused on whether circulating markers of inflammation can provide a new method to improve cardiovascular risk prediction. Thes...
متن کاملHigh sensitivity C-reactive protein and cardiovascular disease: an association built on unstable foundations?
There is considerable interest in the inflammatory hypothesis of vascular disease. Markers of inflammation predict vascular events, and inflammatory cells and molecules are critical elements within plaques and are especially prominent in unstable lesions. With respect to screening, concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), as determined by high-sensitivity assays, have been consistently shown...
متن کاملHigh sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) & cardiovascular disease: An Indian perspective
The role of low grade systemic inflammation as evidenced by elevated high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic vascular disease has been intensely investigated through observational studies and clinical trials in the past two decades. On the basis of evidence that has accrued, hsCRP measurement has been integrated into the Reynolds risk scoring sy...
متن کاملHigh-sensitivity C-reactive protein and cardiovascular disease: a resolute belief or an elusive link?
The role of inflammation in the propagation of atherosclerosis and susceptibility to cardiovascular (CV) events is well established. Of the wide array of inflammatory biomarkers that have been studied, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) has received the most attention for its use in screening and risk reclassification and as a predictor of clinical response to statin therapy. Although ...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase and High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein for Predicting Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease
Background: Research has shown that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a major inflammatory marker for prediction of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Myeloperoxidase (MPO) also plays an important role in atherosclerosis initiation and development. In present study, the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) were investigated. Methods...
