Background Elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with an unfavorable
clinical outcome in patients with unstable angina. To determine whether ischemia …

C-reactive protein, a reactant of the acute phase of inflammation, has been shown to be
increased in patients with unstable angina. Moreover, it has recently been found that …

Background—There is growing evidence of the prognostic importance of C-reactive protein
(CRP) in unstable angina. However, the independent value of CRP relative to other …

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a sensitive marker of inflammation, and elevated levels have
been associated with future risk of cardiovascular events. To explore the role and …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported conflicting results on the association
between C-reactive protein (CRP) and extent of atherosclerosis, suggesting that the …

A crucial point in understanding the clinical and pathophysiologic meaning of C-reactive
protein (CRP) elevation in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is whether CRP release is …

Background Inflammation is an important feature of atherosclerotic lesions, and the
vulnerability of coronary lesions in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at the time of onset may …

Background—In a group of patients admitted for unstable angina, we investigated whether C-
reactive protein (CRP) plasma levels remain elevated at discharge and whether persistent …

BACKGROUND: C-reactive protein (CRP) plasmatic levels increase in patients with acute
coronary syndromes (ACS). Correlations between CRP levels, myocardial functional …

BACKGROUND: C-reactive protein (CRP) plasma levels correlate with cardiovascular
events. Although a direct role for CRP in atherothrombosis has been suggested, at the …
