Lipids, atherosclerosis and CVD risk: is CRP an innocent bystander?

Nutrition, metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases : NMCD - 1 Oct 2009

Nordestgaard B G, Zacho J

Abstract excerpt

AIM: To evaluate recent human studies with respect to the interpretation of whether elevated plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) cause cardiovascular disease (CVD), or whether elevated CRP levels more likely is an innocent bystander. DATA SYNTHESIS: Elevated CRP concentrations are consistently associated with CVD risk. A recent study showed that aggressive statin treatment caused reductions of 50% in LDL...
