Dr. Benjamin Scirica

High hsCRP levels have been found to be associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). There are however few data and some conflicting data with regards to ST elevation MI, the full spectrum of ACS, specific subgroups of patients with ACS, and the timing of measurement of CRP. The purpose of the...

Favorable effect of statins on local inflammatory activation in non-culprit lesions of patients with multivessel coronary artery disease
Dr. Konstantinos Toutouzas

Recently, new insights have become available into how anti-inflammatory effects of statin treatment impact on what happens within the coronary arteries. As seen in the REVERSAL trial, for example, a reduction in systemic inflammation, as indicated by the level of C-reactive protein, was important in addition to cholesterol-lowering, for the...

LDL-C vs hsCRP vs HDL-C: What is the Primary Driver of Benefit?
Dr. Paul M. Ridker

When considering biomarkers such as LDL-C, hsCRP and HDL-C, it is of interest to know their usefulness for predicting the risk of future vascular events, and for monitoring drug effectiveness. There is data to suggest that hsCRP may be a better predictor of the risk of future cardiovascular (CV) events, such as from participants in the...
