High Sensitivity C - Reactive Protein is Associated with Diastolic Dysfunction in Young African Americans without Clinically Evident Cardiac Disease

Abstract: Background:Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is associated with myocardial fibrosis mediated by inflammation. Higher levels of inflammation found in African Americans (AAs) may predict DD among asymptomatic individuals. We tested the hypothesis that high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), a biomarker of inflammation, is associated with DD in asymptomatic AAs.Methods:We prospectively recruited 107 asymptomatic AAs without any history of cardiac, renal or inflammatory diseases or alcoholism. We measured hs-CRP an… Show more

“…In the general population, the triggers of DD progression to symptomatic stages include ischemia, arrhythmia, hypertension, or hospitalization, but are unknown in approximately 50% of the cases (37). One study of healthy individuals showed that DD was predicted by C‐reactive protein levels (41). Our systematic review identified an almost equal number of studies providing evidence for and against the role of disease duration and disease activity as predictors of DD (Table 1).…”

“…However, IL-6 was not related to diastolic dysfunction in adolescent obesity. Hs-CRP has been shown to be associated with LV dysfunction in adult studies [9, 10]. Research showed that hs-CRP was related to plaque remodeling, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, prothrombotic state, activation of complement, and vascular wall damage [39].…”

“…High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) [9, 10], tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) [11], and interleukin-6 (IL-6) [11, 12] have been reported as chronic inflammatory biomarkers associated with cardiac dysfunction in adults. M30 monoclonal antibody level can be used to reflect the degree of apoptosis.…”

“…Serum hs-CRP was directly related to diastolic dysfunction (p=0.04, CI=1.07-10.5 (95%), Odds Ratio=3.36). Diastolic dysfunction is prevalent among African Americans and is independently related to the increased levels of hs-CRP 9 .…”
