Atherosclerotic disease remains the leading cause of death in industrialized nations despite
major advances in its diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The increasing epidemic of …

During the past decade, the role of inflammation in the pathophysiology of arterial
thrombosis has been elucidated. However, comparatively little is known about the …

Background—The role of C-reactive protein (CRP) in heart failure is not well studied. We
assessed the prognostic value of CRP in patients randomized in Val-HeFT (Valsartan Heart …

Objectives—Besides its predictive role in determining cardiovascular risk, C-reactive protein
(CRP) may exert direct proatherogenic effects through proinflammatory properties. CRP is …

Background—Compelling evidence suggests that inflammation is fundamentally involved in
the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis; however, temporal correlation between inflammation …

Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death throughout the world despite
advances in its detection and treatment. Commonly used risk algorithms, such as the …

In humans, a chronically increased circulating level of C-reactive protein (CRP), a positive
acute-phase reactant, is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This …

Background—Circulating concentrations of the sensitive inflammatory marker C-reactive
protein (CRP) predict future cardiovascular events, and CRP is elevated during sepsis and …

Plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), nitrotyrosine, and interleukin-8 (IL-8) are known
predictors of acute cardiovascular events. Peroxynitrite (ONOO−) may function as an …

Objective—C-reactive protein (CRP) has been proposed to be an independent risk factor for
cardiovascular disease. In vitro studies investigating the mechanism behind this have used …
