- Title
C-Reactive Protein and Cardiovascular Risk in the Metabolic Syndrome and Type 2 Diabetes: Controversy and Challenge.
- Authors
Capuzzi, David M.; Freeman, Jeffrey S.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the relation of C-reactive protein (CRP) and cardiovascular risk in the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. It was found in reports that CRP levels are elevated during acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events suggest that CRP has value in predicting the subsequent occurrence of such events. Recent studies also suggest a potential association between lower CRP levels and improved clinical outcomes with statin therapy.
