Association 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 کاملAssociation Between High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Total Stroke by Hypertensive Status Among Men
BACKGROUND High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), a marker of systemic inflammation, may promote atherosclerosis, particularly among adults with elevated blood pressure; however, data are sparse. We examined the association between hsCRP concentrations and risk of total stroke by hypertension status (normotension, prehypertension, and hypertension) among men in the Physicians' Health Stud...
متن کاملThe 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...
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 کاملhigh sensitivity c-reactive protein levels in acute ischemic stroke and subtypes: a study from a tertiary care center.
background: stroke is a heterogeneous disease with several risk factors. high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hscrp) is a marker for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. recent studies have shown that high hscrp level is a risk factor for ischemic stroke. the objective of our study was to investigate the association of high hscrp (> 3 mg/l) levels with ischemic stroke and its subtypes i...
