Plasma levels of C-reactive protein after coronary stent implantation.
AIMS This study was designed to investigate the role of inflammation on the occurrence of angiographic restenosis 6 months after coronary stent implantation and the influence of different kinds of antithrombotic and antiplatelet strategies on inflammation. METHODS AND RESULTS In an open randomized trial, 40 consecutive patients were treated with aspirin (100 mg. day(-1)) and either ticlopidin...
متن کاملPreprocedural C-reactive protein levels and cardiovascular events after coronary stent implantation.
OBJECTIVES This study assessed the predictive value of preprocedural C-reactive protein (CRP) levels on six-month clinical and angiographic outcome in patients undergoing coronary stent implantation. BACKGROUND Recent data indicate that low-grade inflammation as detected by elevated CRP serum levels predicts the risk of recurrent coronary events. METHODS We prospectively investigated the pr...
متن کاملAssociations between preoperative P-wave characteristics, C-reactive protein levels, and atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common complication of cardiac surgery which may cause remarkable morbidity and complications. Identifying predicting factors of this arrhythmia can help prophylactic therapy. The present study is designed to investigate the hypothesis that HsCRP level and P-wave characteristics are associated with the incidence of post-operative AF. Methods: ...
متن کاملMechanisms of C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and soluble CD40L blood concentration changes after coronary stent implantation
Background: The pathway linking inflammation and thrombosis has been extensively studied. Experimental data support that arterial thrombosis also induces a detectable inflammatory response, which in turn, activates prothrombotic pathways closing a vicious circle that interconnects inflammation and thrombosis. Aim: We designed this study to investigate the causes of inflammatory markers increase...
متن کاملPrognostic value of C-Reactive Protein in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is among the most common, serious, chronic and life- threatening illnesses in the world. CAD represents a spectrum of conditions, with acute myocardial infarction at one end of it and silent ischemia at the other. There is growing evidence on importance of prognosis of C- reactive protein (CPR) in unstable angina and this protein is a maker of an adve...
