C-reactive protein and cardiovascular disease risk: still an unknown quantity?
TL;DR: This issue finds that adding CRP to predictive models containing conventional cardiovascular risk factors leads to minor improvement in measures of discrimination (receiver-operator characteristic curve properties or c-statistics), in line with the findings of the most recent study on this issue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Mendelian Randomization Suggests No Causal Association Between C-reactive Protein and Carotid Intima-media Thickness in the Young Finns Study
Mika Kivimäki,Debbie A Lawlor,Carita Eklund,George Davey Smith,Mikko Hurme,Terho Lehtimäki,Jorma Viikari,Olli T. Raitakari +7 more
TL;DR: To the Editor: It is unclear whether C-reactive protein (CRP), a nonspecific marker of acute phase inflammatory response, is causally related to arterial intima-media thickness (IMT), a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD).
