Prospective studies and clinical trials have shown that C-reactive protein (CRP) independently predicts the occurrence of cardiovascular events, even in individuals without hypercholesterolemia. We evaluated whether CRP can predict the severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients with lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. A total of 418 patients with lower LDL-C (<3.37 mmol/L) who underwent coronary angiography were recruited. The median levels of CRP increased according to the number of stenotic vessels. Multivariable adjustment model indicated that CRP was associated with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in the top to the bottom third comparison of CRP levels, yielding an odds ratio of 1.72 (95% confidence interval: 1.08-2.74); this trend was preserved after excluding the confounding effect of statin treatment. C-reactive protein may serve as a useful biomarker for improving the risk assessment and secondary prevention of CAD patients without hypercholesterolemia.

<p><em>Obesitas terjadi karena akumulasi lemak berlebih di dalam tubuh. Akumulasi lemak menimbulkan low grade inflammation pada jaringan adiposa, menyebabkan peningkatan sitokin inflamasi seperti tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-1 beta, dan interleukin-6 (IL-6). Peningkatan sekresi IL-6 merangsang hepar meningkatkan produksi protein fase akut. High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) sebagai penanda inflamasi merupakan protein fase akut. Low density lipoprotein (LDL-kolesterol) adalah lipoprotein yang paling banyak mengandung kolesterol. Peningkatan kadar hs-CRP dan kadar LDL-kolesterol pada obesitas diidentifikasi sebagai faktor risiko aterosklerosis. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan hs-CRP dengan LDL-kolesterol pada penyandang obes, merupakan penelitian analitik rancangan potong lintang dilakukan  September 2018 sampai Agustus 2019. Kadar hs-CRP diperiksa dengan metode enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA), sedangkan kadar LDL-kolesterol dengan metode kalkulasi (rumus Friedewald). Uji korelasi Spearman digunakan untuk menganalisi data, jika didapatkan nilai p&lt;0,05 korelasi dinyatakan bermakna. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 26 penyandang obes terdiri dari 6 laki-laki (23,1%) dan 20 perempuan (76,9%). Rerata umur subjek penelitian adalah 36,46(7,68) tahun. Rerata kadar hs-CRP dan kadar LDL-kolesterol adalah 5,08(1,28) mg/L dan  154,69(45,8) mg/dL. Analisis korelasi menunjukkan korelasi positif lemah dan tidak bermakna secara statistik antara kadar hs-CRP dengan kadar LDL-kolesterol (r= 0,333, p=0,096). Simpulan: Terdapat korelasi positif lemah antara kadar hs-CRP dengan kadar LDL-kolesterol pada penyandang obes.</em></p><p><strong><em>Kata kunci</em></strong><em>: </em><em>Obesitas, High Sensitivity C-Reactive, Low Density Lipoprotein</em><em></em></p>

In statin therapy, the prognostic role of achieved low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in cardiovascular outcomes has not been fully elucidated. A total of 4,803 percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-naïve patients who prescribed moderate intensity of statin therapy were followed up. Total and each component of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) according to LDL-C and hsCRP quartiles were compared. The incidence of 5-year total MACEs in the highest quartile group according to the followed-up hsCRP was higher than that in the lowest quartile (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.16, p<0.001). However, there was no difference between the highest and lowest quartiles of the achieved LDL-C (HR = 0.95, p=0.743). After adjustment of potential confounders, the incidence of total death, de novo PCI, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure in the highest quartile of followed-up hsCRP, was higher than that in the lowest quartile (all p<0.05). However, other components except for de novo PCI in the highest quartile by achieved LDL-C was not different to that in the lowest quartile. These results suggest that followed-up hsCRP can be more useful for predicting future cardiovascular outcome than achieved LDL-C in PCI-naïve patients with statin therapy.
