Journal ArticleDOI

Genetically determined NLRP3 inflammasome activation associates with systemic inflammation and cardiovascular mortality

Stefan J Schunk, +80 more
TL;DR: This study provides evidence for a substantial role of genetically driven systemic inflammation in CVD and highlights the NLRP3 inflammasome as a therapeutic target.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vitamin D deficiency parallels inflammation and immune activation, the Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health (LURIC) study

TL;DR: The results indicate increased inflammatory processes in patients with low vitamin D status and further studies should clarify the underlying mechanisms for the observed associations of vitamin Dstatus and inflammatory parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) is associated with total and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with or without stable coronary artery disease – Results from the Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health Study (LURIC)

TL;DR: Serum LBP concentration was significantly increased in 2298 patients with angiographically confirmed CAD and LBP was a significant and independent predictor of total and cardiovascular mortality, which underscores the potential importance of innate immune mechanisms for atherosclerosis.
