International Journal of Cardiology, 06/30/09
Celik T et al. – A review of C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in chronic heart failure (CHF) reports that high CRP levels are associated with adverse outcomes in cardiovascular diseases.
Methods- Review of CRP levels in CHF
- High CRP levels associated with adverse outcomes in cardiovascular diseases
- hsCRP levels increase with CHF severity in diastolic as well as systolic HF pts
- Finding supports a potential role for CRP in immune activation not only in systolic but also in diastolic HF
- Measurement of hsCRP levels thus may play a key role for risk assessment in CHF pts
