Journal ArticleDOI

C-Reactive Protein and Other Circulating Markers of Inflammation in the Prediction of Coronary Heart Disease

TL;DR: The long-term stability of C-reactive protein values was similar to that of both blood pressure and total serum cholesterol, and recommendations regarding its use in predicting the likelihood of coronary heart disease may need to be reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

C-reactive protein concentration and risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and mortality: an individual participant meta-analysis.

TL;DR: CRP concentration has continuous associations with the risk of coronary heart disease, ischaemic stroke, vascular mortality, and death from several cancers and lung disease that are each of broadly similar size.
Journal ArticleDOI

C-Reactive Protein, Fibrinogen, and Cardiovascular Disease Prediction

Stephen Kaptoge, +82 more
TL;DR: It is estimated that under current treatment guidelines, assessment of the CRP or fibrinogen level in people at intermediate risk for a cardiovascular event could help prevent one additional event over a period of 10 years for every 400 to 500 people screened.
Journal ArticleDOI

The interleukin-6 receptor as a target for prevention of coronary heart disease: a mendelian randomisation analysis.

Daniel I. Swerdlow, +115 more
- 31 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: IL6R blockade could provide a novel therapeutic approach to prevention of coronary heart disease that warrants testing in suitably powered randomised trials and could help to validate and prioritise novel drug targets or to repurpose existing agents and targets for new therapeutic uses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 as an Independent Predictor of Coronary Heart Disease

TL;DR: Elevated levels of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 appear to be a strong risk factor for coronary heart disease, a finding that has implications for atherogenesis and the assessment of risk.
