C-Reactive Protein and Other Markers of Inflammation in the Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease in Women

TL;DR: The addition of the measurement of C-reactive protein to screening based on lipid levels may provide an improved method of identifying persons at risk for cardiovascular events.
Journal ArticleDOI

C-Reactive Protein, Interleukin 6, and Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

TL;DR: Elevated levels of CRP and IL-6 predict the development of type 2 DM, and data support a possible role for inflammation in diabetogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of C-Reactive Protein and Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Levels in the Prediction of First Cardiovascular Events

TL;DR: The data suggest that the C-reactive protein level is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular events than the LDL cholesterol level and that it adds prognostic information to that conveyed by the Framingham risk score.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aspirin in the primary and secondary prevention of vascular disease: collaborative meta-analysis of individual participant data from randomised trials.
