Abstract Background: Chronic low-grade inflammation may contribute to the increased risk of atherosclerosis in visceral obesity. Statin and fish oil have been reported to have antiinflammatory effects. We studied whether dyslipidemic, obese individuals have increased plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) concentrations and whether treatment with atorvastatin and fish oil lowered plasma hs-CRP concentrations. Methods: We compared plasma hs-CRP, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) concentrations in 48 obese individuals with the concentrations in 10 lean normolipidemic men. The obese individuals were then randomized to treatment with atorvastatin (40 mg/day), fish oil (4 g/day), atorvastatin plus fish oil, or matching placebo for 6 weeks. Results: Compared with controls, obese individuals had increased hs-CRP [geometric mean, 2.19 mg/L (95% confidence interval, 2.15–3.15 mg/L) vs 0.49 mg/L (0.30– 0.93 mg/L); P <0.001] and IL-6 [351 pg/L (318–449 pg/L) vs 251 pg/L (211–305 pg/L); P <0.01]. Atorvastatin treatment had a significant main effect of decreasing plasma hs-CRP (−0.87 mg/L; 95% confidence interval, −0.10 to −1.60 mg/L; P <0.01) and IL-6 (−70 pg/L; 10 to −140 pg/L; P <0.01), but this was not seen with fish oil. The reductions in hs-CRP with atorvastatin were not significantly correlated to changes in plasma lipids, IL-6, insulin resistance, or cholesterogenesis. Plasma TNF-α concentrations in obese individuals, however, were neither statistically different from concentrations in the lean controls nor altered with atorvastatin or fish oil treatment. Conclusions: This study shows that visceral obesity is associated with increased plasma hs-CRP and IL-6 and, hence, a low-grade chronic inflammatory state and that treatment with atorvastatin or atorvastatin with fish oil, but not fish oil alone, reverses this abnormality.

Abstract Background It has been reported that coronary artery disease (CAD) is characterized by inflammation and non-obstructive CAD (NOCAD) increases the risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) compared with ones with normal or near-normal coronary arteries (NNCA), even is similar to obstructive CAD (OCAD). We hypothesized that elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) may be linked to CVEs in those patients with NOCAD. Purpose To investigate the predictive role of hs-CRP in patients with NOCAD. Methods Of 7,746 consecutive patients with angina-like chest pain admissions, 4,662 eligible patients were enrolled who received coronary artery angiography (CAG) and followed up for the CVEs comprising all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke and late revascularization. According to the results of CAG, the patients were classified as NNCA group (<20% stenosis, n=698, 15.0%), NOCAD group (20–49% stenosis, n=639, 14.3%), and OCAD group (≥50% stenosis, n=3325, 70.7%). They were further subdivided into 3 groups according to baseline hs-CRP levels (<1, 1–3 and >3 mg/L). Proportional hazards models were used to assess the risk of CVEs in all patients enrolled. Results A total of 338 patients (7.3%) experienced CVEs during an average of 13403 person-years follow-up. Patients with NOCAD and OCAD had higher rates of CVEs compared to those with NNCA (p<0.05, respectively). In Cox's models after adjustment of confounders, the risk of CVEs elevated with the increasing degrees of CAD with hazard ratio of 2.01 [95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.07–3.79, p=0.03] for patients with NOCAD and 2.81 (95% CI: 1.60–4.93, p<0.001) for patients with OCAD compared with the NNCA group. Moreover, elevated hs-CRP levels were associated with the severity of coronary lesions and an elevated increased risk of CVEs in patients with NOCAD and OCAD compared those with NNCA (p<0.05, respectively). Conclusions Patients with NOCAD had indeed worse outcomes and hs-CRP levels were positively in relation to the CVEs in those with NOCAD, which may help to the risk assessment in ones with NOCAD.

Background and Objectives: This study was to characterize the association of cumulative exposure to increased high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) with chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Methods: We included 35,194 participants with hs-CRP measured at three examinations in 2006, 2008, 2010. Participants were classified into nonexposed group (hs-CRP <3.0 mg/L in all 3 examinations), 1-exposed group (hs-CRP ≥3.0 mg/L in 1 of the 3 examinations), 2-exposed group (hs-CRP ≥3.0 mg/L in 2 of the 3 examinations), and 3-exposed group (hs-CRP ≥3.0 mg/L in 3 examinations). Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association of cumulative hs-CRP with incident CKD. CKD includes an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or urinary protein positive. Results: The study showed the risk of CKD as the number of years of exposure to hs-CRP increases. Participants in 3-exposed group had significantly increased CKD risk with hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval, CI) of 1.70 (1.49–1.93), in comparison with 1.47 (1.34–1.62) for participants in the 2-exposed group, and 1.08 (1.00–1.16) for those in the 1-exposed group (p < 0.01); meanwhile, the similar and significant associations were also observed for eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, proteinuria positive, in participants of the 3-exposed group in comparison with the nonexposed group, with respective HRs (95% CI) of 1.27 (1.01–1.58) and 2.27 (1.87–2.76). Conclusions: Cumulative exposure to hs-CRP was associated with a subsequent increased risk of CKD and was of great value to risk prediction.

Previous studies have linked childhood adversity to low-grade inflammation via C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. This study analyzed the association between low-grade inflammation and prior biological parental incarceration. Data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (1994–2008) were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression models. Measures included high-sensitivity (hs)-CRP (<3 mg/L = reference, 3–10 mg/L = low-grade inflammation, and >10 mg/L = acute inflammation), parent incarceration occurring in the child’s lifetime, and frequency and timing of incarceration with respect to child’s age (0–18 years or >18 years vs. never) of incarceration. Analyses were stratified by child’s gender. Final sample sizes were n = 5,396 males and n = 6,447 females for maternal incarceration and n = 4,956 males and n = 5,860 females for paternal incarceration. In models with and without potential mediators, females whose fathers were ever incarcerated were more likely to have hs-CRP levels of 3–10 mg/L than females whose fathers were never incarcerated (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 1.44, 95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.09, 1.91]). Additionally, daughter’s age (<18 years; AOR: 1.48, 95% CI: [1.11, 1.97]) and frequency of father’s incarceration were significant (AOR: 1.24, 95% CI: [1.04, 1.49]). No mediating effects were observed. Males whose fathers were incarcerated when they were ≥18 years were less likely to have hs-CRP levels of 3–10 mg/L than those whose father was never incarcerated; the association was nonsignificant in the mediated model. Further investigation is needed on the physiological effects of exposure to parental incarceration and interventions to support children.

AimsHigh-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) and high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) may convey prognostic information in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). This study evaluated if hs-TnT and hs-CRP associate with myocardial mass, and risk of future surgery for AS.MethodsIn total, 336 patients (48% women) with surgery for AS with previous participation in large population surveys were identified. Preoperatively, myocardial mass and the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) were assessed. Two matched referents were allocated for each case, and hs-TnT and hs-CRP were determined in stored plasma from the baseline survey. Conditional logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the risk (OR (95% CI)) related to one (natural logarithm) SD increase in hs-TnT and hs-CRP. Kaplan-Mayer and Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate time to surgery.ResultsMedian age (IQR) was 59.8 (10.3) years at survey, and median time between survey and surgery was 10.9 (9.3) years. Hs-TnT was independently associated with surgery for AS (1.24 (1.06–1.44)) irrespective of CAD, whereas Hs-CRP was not (1.05 (0.90–1.22)). Elevated hs-TnT levels at survey associated with shorter time to surgery (p<0.001), and with increased myocardial mass (p=0.002). Hs-CRP did not associate with time to surgery or with myocardial mass.ConclusionsHs-TnT—but not hs-CRP—was associated with increased risk of—and shorter time to—future surgery for AS. Hs-TnT associated with myocardial mass at surgery which indicates that hs-TnT could be a potential biomarker for determining intervention.

Abstract: Central obesity is recognized as a major factor that associated with increased risk for some chronic diseases. Waist to hip ratio described the increase in visceral adipose tissue and subcutaneous fat on waist circumference and hip circumference.C-reactive protein is the detection of cardiovascular disease risk in conventional but not sensitive enough to detect cardiovascular risk so  beused the new method is of high sensitivity C-reactive protein.The research have purpose to know the difference and relationship of waist to hip ratio and high sensitivity c-reactive protein level between obese and non-obese students at Medical Faculty of Sam Ratulangi University Manado. This research was an observational analytic cross-sectional approach. The results of statistical analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test revealed that there were significant differences (p = 0.000 <0.05) both WHR and hs-CRP level in both groups of students are. Conclusion: The results of statistical analysis using the Spearman test showed that there is a positive very weak relationship (r = 0309) and significant (p = 0017 <0.05) between the values ​​of WHR with hs-CRP level in obese and non-obese students at Medical Faculty of Sam Ratulangi University Manado. Key Words: WHR, hs-CRP     Abstrak: Obesitas sentral diakui sebagai factor utama yang dikaitkan dengan peningkatan resiko untuk beberapa penyakit kronis.

Objective The clinical implication of coronary tortuosity is unclear. The present study was conducted to determine the relationships between coronary tortuosity and the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) concentration and between coronary tortuosity and cerebrovascular accident in hypertensive patients without coronary artery disease. Methods In total, 236 patients with normal coronary angiography findings were categorized into 3 different groups: control participants (n = 58), who had neither hypertension nor coronary tortuosity; patients with hypertension but no coronary tortuosity (H-NCT group, n = 93); and patients with both hypertension and coronary tortuosity (H-CT group, n = 85). The hs-CRP concentration was measured in every patient, and 168 hypertensive patients were followed up for at least 2 years to check for the development of cerebrovascular accident. Results The hs-CRP concentration was significantly higher in the H-CT group than in the control and H-NCT groups (4.33 ± 3.15 vs. 1.52 ± 1.31 and 2.31 ± 2.09 mg/L, respectively). The incidence of lacunar infarction was higher in the H-CT than H-NCT group during the follow-up. Conclusions Hypertensive patients with coronary tortuosity have a higher serum hs-CRP level concentration and have a higher incidence of lacunar infarction than hypertensive patients without coronary tortuosity.

IntroductionThe aim of this preliminary study is to assess, in a sample of patients with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), the specific association between depressive symptoms and systemic inflammation.MethodsSixty-One inpatients with CHD, 31 Unstable Angina and 28 Myocardial Infarction, participated in the study. The plasma levels of C Reactive Protein were measured using Dade Behring’s High Sensitivity CRP assay (hs-CRP) at T0, T30 and T90.At the same timings, they were tested by an examiner, unaware of their diagnosis, with a psychometric battery (SCL90-R, HDRS, MADRS, BDI, QlesQ).ResultsThe elevation of hs-CRP occurs during the whole observation period, with maximum significance at T90 (p = 0,031).A multivariate analysis at T0 indicates a statistical correlation between SCL90-R scores and hs-CRP levels (p = 0.02).The SCL90-R is also associated with the risk of further cardiac events (p = 0.013).Also the BDI could be useful as a prognostic factor (p = 0.026).We found a trend towards correlation between CRP values and depressive symptoms, but it never reaches statistical significance for the other scales.ConclusionsThe feelings of loss and the fear of death, related to the environmental and emotional situation of the hospitalization, may prevail in the acute phase of CHDs.Some patients may overcome this reactive depression, while others may exhibit a biological depression, related to the high level of CRP and thus to an increased risk of re-infarction and other coronary events.

Vitamin D deficiency and elevated high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) have been associated with several health outcomes, but knowledge on early life trajectories and association between 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and hs-CRP is lacking. We investigated the association between longitudinal measurements of 25(OH)D and hs-CRP, respectively, from pregnancy to childhood and throughout childhood in two Danish mother–child cohorts—the COPSAC2010 and COPSAC2000. In COPSAC2010, there was an association between 25(OH)D concentrations at week 24 in pregnancy and at age 6 months in childhood (n = 633): estimate (95% CI); 0.114 (0.041;0.187), p = 0.002, and between 25(OH)D at age 6 months and 6 years (n = 475): 0.155 (0.083;0.228), p < 0.001. This was also demonstrated in the COPSAC2000 cohort between 25(OH)D concentrations in cord blood and at age 4 years (n = 188): 0.294 (0.127;0.461), p < 0.001 and at age 6 months and 4 years (n = 264): 0.260 (0.133;0.388), p < 0.001. In COPSAC2000, we also found an association between hs-CRP at age 6 months and 12 years in childhood (n = 232): 0.183 (0.076;0.289), p < 0.001. Finally, we found a negative association between the cross-sectional measurements of 25(OH)D and hs-CRP at age 6 months (n = 613) in COPSAC2010: −0.004 (−0.008;−0.0004), p = 0.030, but this was not replicated in COPSAC2000. In this study, we found evidence of associations across timepoints of 25(OH)D concentrations from mid-pregnancy to infancy and through childhood and associations between hs-CRP levels during childhood, although with weak correlations. We also found a negative cross-sectional association between 25(OH)D and hs-CRP concentrations in COPSAC2010 proposing a role of vitamin D in systemic low-grade inflammation, though this association was not present in COPSAC2000.
