Many epidemiologic studies show positive associations between elevated CRP levels and incident CVD.
2
This study is the first to document elevated CRP in non-postoperative arrhythmia patients.
3
Persistently elevated CRP levels after hospital discharge are associated with higher risk of rehospitalization.
4
Background: Elevated CRP levels have been associated with hypertension in pregnancy and with CVD.
5
Over two-thirds of the patients exhibited elevated CRP levels compatible with chronic sub-clinical inflammation.
6
The meta-analysis indicated that elevated CRP levels was associated with increased risk of breast cancer.
7
Conclusions: Genetically elevated CRP levels showed a significant potentially protective causal relationship with risk of schizophrenia.
8
Hence, the common notion that elevated CRP levels predict more severe postoperative inflammation should be questioned.
9
In conclusion, this prospective, population-based study suggests elevated CRP is independently associated with increased risk of VTE.
10
We also asked whether elevated CRP is associated with the dyslipidemia and insulin resistance previously identified in this cohort.
11
Whereas the positive predictive value of an elevated CRP level was high, the negative predictive value of an elevated PCT was high.
12
Conclusion: A history of hypertension in pregnancy is associated with elevated CRP levels later in life, independent of traditional CVD risk factors and BMI.
13
Conclusions: Independent of chronic diseases, elevated CRP is associated with multiple domains of disability through mediation of muscle power, habitual gait speed, or both.
14
An elevated CRP may reflect an inflammatory state in women with a history of hypertensive pregnancy disorders who are at increased risk for CVD.
15
The proportion of subjects with elevated CRP was higher in those with early COPD, but CRP added no relevant diagnostic information above symptoms and signs.
16
Although the cause of elevated CRP levels in AF patients remains unknown, elevated CRP may reflect an inflammatory state that promotes the persistence of AF.
