C-reactive protein and the prediction of cardiovascular events among those at intermediate risk: moving an inflammatory hypothesis toward consensus. (2007, neutral): “representing lower, average, or higher relative vascular risk when added to traditional risk factors (12).”
Minireview: adiposity, inflammation, and atherogenesis. (2003, background): “Recent data suggest that hsCRP is as important a predictor of atherosclerosis as circulating LDLC (57).”
Patients with severe psoriasis are at increased risk of cardiovascular mortality: cohort study using the General Practice Research Database. (2010, background): “31,32 Finally, a recent study showed increased CVD deﬁned as coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease, and stroke in patients with psoriasis, 15 however this was not population-based and did not evaluate for CV mortality.”
The effect of compulsory schooling on health—evidence from biomarkers (2009, neutral): “Elevated levels of fibrinogen and CRP have been shown to be strong, independent predictors of weight gain (Duncan et al. 2000), incident diabetes (Pradhan et al. 2001), or cardiovascular events (Ridker et al. 2002, 2003).”
