Inflammatory markers tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and the soluble forms of intracellular adhesion molecule (sICAM-1) and vascular CAM-1 (sVCAM-1) are associated with increased risk of diabetes and coronary heart disease.
Based on CRP levels, 10 participants (71.4%) were at intermediate risk of coronary heart disease (range, 1.0-2.3 μg ml<sup>-1</sup> ), while four participants (28.6%) were at low risk (<1.0 μg ml<sup>-1</sup> ).
Association between telomere length and C-reactive protein and the development of coronary collateral circulation in patients with coronary artery disease.
Associations of fibrinogen and C-reactive protein with prevalent and incident coronary heart disease are attenuated by adjustment for confounding factors. British Women's Heart and Health Study.
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein is an independent marker of abnormal coronary vasoreactivity in patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease.
WBC, CRP and IL-6 as inflammation parameters and MPV and β-TG as platelet biomarkers may be useful indicators of the presence of coronary artery disease.
In this Review, we describe some of these challenges in interpreting MR analyses, including those from studies using genetic variants to assess causality of multiple traits (such as branched-chain amino acids and risk of diabetes mellitus); studies describing pleiotropic variants (for example, C-reactive protein and its contribution to coronary heart disease); and those investigating variants that disrupt normal function of an exposure (for example, HDL cholesterol or IL-6 and coronary heart disease).
Relationship between serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein with angiographic severity of coronary artery disease and traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
The relationship between insulin resistance, adiponectin and C-reactive protein and vascular endothelial injury in diabetic patients with coronary heart disease.
The direction of effect of all 24 risk factors (including various apolipoproteins, hemoglobin A1<sub>c</sub>, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, and tissue plasminogen activator antigen) was concordant for coronary heart disease (CHD, defined as myocardial infarction and CHD death) and ischemic stroke; however, associations were generally stronger with CHD.
We identified amino acid residues involved in CRP peptide 201-206-FcγRII (CD32) interactions, which mediate potent antineutrophil and antiplatelet adhesion actions, and these findings open up new perspectives for limiting inflammation and thrombosis underlying coronary artery disease.
The possible roles of APOA5 variants in determining the risk of myocardial infarction and coronary artery disease development, as well as in the determination of low-density lipoprotein-particle size or plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, are also summarized.
Inflammatory Biomarkers Interleukin-6 and C-Reactive Protein and Outcomes in Stable Coronary Heart Disease: Experiences From the STABILITY (Stabilization of Atherosclerotic Plaque by Initiation of Darapladib Therapy) Trial.
CRP concentration is partly under genetic control as a higher concentration in young siblings of probands with proved coronary atherosclerosis was documented.
These methods are demonstrated in a simulation study and then applied to estimate the causal relation between C-reactive protein and each of fibrinogen and coronary heart disease, based on 3 SNPs in British Women's Heart and Health Study participants assessed at baseline between May 1999 and June 2000.
The combined effects of serum albumin and C-reactive protein (CRP) on clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were investigated.Methods and Results:A total of 2,164 all-comer patients with coronary artery disease who underwent their first PCI and had data available for preprocedural serum albumin and hs-CRP levels between 2000 and 2011 were studied.
In multivariate analyses, the GNRI, age, ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI), critical limb ischemia, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were independent factors associated with OS, and GNRI, age, ABPI, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, eGFR, and CRP were associated with MACE and MACLE (all p＜0.05).
