Postacute C-reactive protein levels are elevated in cervical artery dissection.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE C-reactive protein (CRP) is associated with atherogenesis and stroke in mostly elderly subjects. We tested whether elevated CRP may also be linked to spontaneous cervical artery dissection (CAD) and cryptogenic stroke. METHODS We investigated high-sensitivity CRP levels in 62 patients <60 years of age experiencing cerebral ischemia resulting from large artery atheroscle...
متن کاملElevated C-reactive protein levels and coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease.
AIMS It is still unknown whether elevated C-reactive protein levels are responsible for coronary microcirculatory dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This study was aimed at evaluating the association between C-reactive protein levels and endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent coronary blood flow (CBF) responses in non-culprit arteries of patients with CAD. ...
متن کاملElevated C-reactive protein levels and impaired endothelial vasoreactivity in patients with coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) serum levels, an exquisitely sensitive objective marker of inflammation, relate to long-term prognosis in patients with coronary artery disease and in apparently healthy men. Because abnormalities of endothelial regulation of vascular function may contribute to the occurrence of coronary events, we tested the hypothesis that elevated CRP levels are a...
متن کاملElevated high sensitivity C-reactive protein and uric acid levels in coronary artery ectasia.
AIM The aim of this study is to examine uric asid (UA) and high sensitive C-Reactive protein (Hs-CRP) levels in patients with coronary artery ectasia (CAE). MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-eight patients with isolated CAE (mean age 57.5±10.3), (group-I), 110 patients with CAD but without CAE (mean age 56.3±10.7), (group-II), and 105 patients with normal coronary angiographies (mean age 58.1±10.8...
متن کاملC Reactive Protein levels are elevated in the Third Trimester in Preeclamptic pregnant Women
Aim: To evaluate the levels of C Reactive protein, an inflammatory marker in preeclamptic and normotensive pregnant women. Methods: It was a cross sectional analytical study. The participants included 60 cases with preeclampsia and 60 normotensive pregnant women, all in their third trimester. All the participants were in the age group of 20-40 years and a BMI of 18-25. HsCRP levels were measure...
