In comparison to controls, PE/E significantly increased systolic BP (MD = 8.3 mmHg, 95%CI 6.8 to 9.7), diastolic BP (MD = 6.8 mmHg, 95%CI 5.6 to 8.0), BMI (MD = 2.0 kg/m<sup>2</sup>; 95%CI 1.6 to 2.4), waist (MD = 4.3 cm, 95%CI 3.1 to 5.5), waist-to-hip ratio (MD = 0.02, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.03), weight (MD = 5.1 kg, 95%CI 2.2 to 7.9), total cholesterol (MD = 4.6 mg/dL, CI 1.5 to 7.7), LDL (MD = 4.6 mg/dL; 95%CI 0.2 to 8.9), triglycerides (MD = 7.7 mg/dL, 95%CI 3.6 to 11.7), glucose (MD = 2.6 mg/dL, 95%CI 1.2 to 4.0), insulin (MD = 19.1 pmol/L, 95%CI 11.9 to 26.2), HOMA-IR index (MD = 0.7, 95%CI 0.2 to 1.2), C reactive protein (MD = 0.05 mg/dL, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.09), and the risks of hypertension (RD = 0.24, 95%CI 0.15 to 0.33) and MetS (RD = 0.11, 95%CI 0.08 to 0.15).
Multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to ascertain independent determinants of carotid stenosis severity, autonomic function, and inflammation.Systemic inflammation (C-reactive protein, beta = .255; P = .014), age (beta = .232; P < .008), and arterial hypertension (beta = .206; P = .032) were associated with carotid stenosis severity.
Deceased patients had a significantly higher age (mean 64.4 vs. 51.1 years); frequency of male sex (31.5% vs. 16.7%), hypertension (40.4 vs. 18.5%), and diabetes mellitus (25.8% vs. 7.7%); ESR (mean 57.1 vs. 43.0 mm/h); CRP (mean 16.9 vs. 8.7 mg/L); and FIB-4 (mean 1.5 vs. 1.0) (all P < 0.05) than the survivors.
We compare the results of regressions of unemployment on self-reported health with those of regressions of unemployment on health as measured with biomarkers (hypertension and levels of blood glucose and C-reactive protein).
The association between hypertension (HTN) and inflammatory biomarkers (interleukin-6 [IL-6] and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hsCRP]) in HIV-positive persons with CD4+ count >500 cells/mm3 is unknown.
In patients with diabetes and hypertension, higher CRP levels are linked to cardiometabolic derangements, although they are not associated with increased BP variability.
Low albumin was associated with increasing age, higher urea and C-reactive protein, lower sodium, hemoglobin, iron, less treatment with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker, reduced right ventricular function, and pulmonary hypertension.
Having two or all three risk factors (smoking actively, body mass index over 25 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level over 3 mg/L) indicates a 4-fold risk for incident hypertension within 21-year follow-up.
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have shown beneficial effects on endothelial function in patients with hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases, however there are few studies evaluating the effect of treatment with this class on the reduction of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels.
In baseline assessments from the CROSSROADS randomized controlled trial, serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) and C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were assayed in 163 older adults (37% males, 24% African American, BMI 34±3, age 70±5yrs) with hypertension, dyslipidemia and/or diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) (OR 4.50, 95%CI 1.74-11.62, p = 0.002), high blood pressure (OR 2.03, 95%CI 1.04-4.14, p = 0.042), ACPA (OR 2.36, 95%CI 1.19-4.69, p = 0.014) and mean values of CRP during the follow-up (OR 1.07, 95%CI 1.03-1.14, p = 0.040) were significantly associated with higher risk of subclinical atherosclerosis.
Here, the potential influence of systemic inflammation (assessed by serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP]) on hypertension remission will be investigated in a cohort of hypertensive patients with MetS.
In the AAV group, atherosclerosis-related factors, such as age and hypertension, were not associated with the Shinohara grades of periventricular hyperintensities, whereas serum CRP levels were significantly associated (odds ratio = 6.000, 95% confidence interval 1.648-21.840, P = 0.004).
Compared with patients with symptomatic atherosclerotic disease in only 1 territory, patients with various types of polyvascular disease more often had hypertension (P from 0.03 to <0.001), dyslipidemia (P <0.001), high‑sensitivity C‑reactive protein levels of 3 mg/l or higher (P = 0.005), and more often were current smokers (P <0.001) or former smokers (P from 0.03 to 0.001).
The present study prospectively assessed the following over 23 years: (1) the association of psychological and physiologic stress during captivity with elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and metabolic syndrome (MetS), which includes hypertension; elevated levels of insulin, triglycerides, and fasting glucose; decreased levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; and obesity and (2) the implication of PTSD trajectories in elevated CRP levels and MetS.
Compared to controls, patients presented significantly lower levels of cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLc), LDLc, oxLDL, and intermediate and small HDL and higher triglycerides, CRP, adiponectin, large HDL, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and intermediate-density lipoprotein- (IDL) B. Adiponectin levels correlated positively with large HDL and negatively with intermediate and small HDL, oxLDL/LDLc, and BMI; patients with DM (<i>n</i> = 17) and with DM+HT (<i>n</i> = 70), as compared to patients without DM or HT (<i>n</i> = 69) or only with HT (<i>n</i> = 38), presented significantly higher oxLDL, oxLDL/LDLc, and leptin and lower adiponectin.
Compared with those without masked hypertension, offspring with masked hypertension had a significantly reduced coronary flow reserve (p < 0.001), significantly higher E/e' (p < 0.01), [a surrogate marker of left ventricular filling pressure], more microalbuminuria (p < 0.01), and higher values of high-sensitive C-reactive protein "CRP" (p < 0.001).
Demographic and clinical data such as age, sex, World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade, BMI, Fisher grade, history of arterial hypertension and smoking, aneurysm location, C-reactive protein (CRP) level, and detailed dosage of vasopressors and nimodipine during the treatment period were evaluated.
Furthermore, overweight/obese individuals showed positive correlation of both plasma C-Reactive Protein and triglyceride/HDLc-index with LGI-Ob; and high LGI-Ob score was associated with greater hypertension (<i>p</i> = 0.047), Type 2 diabetes (<i>p</i> = 0.026), and metabolic risk (<i>p</i> = 0.021).
Prospective and retrospective cohort studies evaluating the association of circulating C reactive protein (CRP), high-sensitive CRP (hs-CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and IL-1β to the risk of developing hypertension in the general population were included.
