The Relationship

We investigated the relationship between C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR) and coronary artery ectasia (CAE). The retrospective study population included 150 patients with isolated CAE, 150 with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), and 150 with a normal coronary artery angiogram (NCA). The severity of isolated CAE was determined according to the Markis classification. C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio was significantly higher in patients with isolated CAE than in those with obstructive CAD and NCA (10.5 [5.9-30.9], 5.7 [1.8-13.2] and 3.0 [0.9-8.9], respectively). Logistic regression analysis showed that CAR (odds ratio [OR]: 3.054, 95% CI: 1.021-9.165, P = .001), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR; OR: 1.330, 95% CI: 1.025-1.694, P = .044), and monocyte-to-high density cholesterol ratio (MHR; OR: 1.031, 95% CI: 1.009-1.054, P = .006) were independently associated with the presence of isolated CAE. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that CAR (area under the curve [AUC] ± standard error [SE] = 0.838 ± 0.016; P < .001) had a stronger diagnostic value for detecting significant CAE than PLR (AUC ± SE = 0.632 ± 0.023) and MHR (AUC ± SE = 0.726 ± 0.022). C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio had a significantly strong correlation with the severity of isolated CAE (r = 0.536, P < .001). To the best of our knowledge, this study showed for the first time that CAR was significantly associated with CAE presence and severity.

The Relationship

Objectives. There are limited clinical data revealing the relationship between mitral annular calcification (MAC) and systemic inflammation. The goal of the present study was to compare high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in patients with and without MAC and investigate the relationship between MAC and hs-CRP.Methods. One hundred patients with MAC who underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and 100 age-matched controls without MAC who underwent TTE were included in our study. Hs-CRP levels were compared between groups.Results. Prevalence of female gender, hypertension, and coronary artery disease were significantly higher in the MAC group than in the control group (64% versus 45%,P=0.007, 42% versus 28%,P=0.03and 37% versus 18%,P=0.003, resp.). On multivariate analysis, age, gender, and coronary artery disease were the only independent predictors of MAC. The levels of hs-CRP were higher in the MAC group than in the control group (2.02±0.35versus1.43±0.47 mg/dl,P<0.001). This increase in hs-CRP levels in the MAC group persisted in patients without hypertension, coronary artery disease, and in male patients when compared to the control group.Conclusions. Our study demonstrated that hs-CRP, which is a sensitive marker of systemic inflammation, increased in patients with MAC.

The aim of this study is to examine uric asid (UA) and high sensitive C-Reactive protein (Hs-CRP) levels in patients with coronary artery ectasia (CAE). Ninety-eight patients with isolated CAE (mean age 57.5±10.3), (group-I), 110 patients with CAD but without CAE (mean age 56.3±10.7), (group-II), and 105 patients with normal coronary angiographies (mean age 58.1±10.8), (group-III) were included in the study. Blood samples of all individual were taken after coronary angiography from an antecubital vein, the patients uric acid and Hs-CRP levels were assessed. The severity of ectasia was evaluated and categorized according to Markis. A significant difference was not seen in serum uric acid and Hs-CRP levels between CAE and CAD groups. However, relative to the control group, uric acid and Hs-CRP levels in CAE and CAD groups were higher to a significant degree (p=0.001, p
