“…Our final primary analysis included 18 articles derived from 14 independent prospective studies, 8,9,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] consisting of 22 509 participants. Among the 14 studies, 13 reported CVD outcomes (2321 events), 8,9,27,29,31-38,40 -42 4 reported CHD outcomes (741 events), 8,9,31,39 and 4 reported stroke outcomes (828 events).…”

“…Increased levels of CysC were an independent predictor of cardiac events within a 1-y follow-up in this contemporary series of Mediterranean subjects with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome. 11 The concentration of CysC was strongly associated with long-term all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in subjects referred for coronary angiography, irrespective of the renal function status based on creatinine measurements. 23 However, the literature describing the role of CysC in COPD is sparse, and few studies have addressed this issue to date.…”

“…8 Recent studies have revealed that CysC has a predictive and prognostic value in cardiovascular disease, especially coronary artery disease and heart failure. [9][10][11][12][13] However, the literature on the role of CysC in subjects with COPD exacerbation is sparse. One study that examined the level of CysC in COPD subjects showed that a high CysC concentration may be a potential indicator of impaired lung function and that routinely measuring CysC may improve the diagnosis and assessment of COPD severity in elderly male subjects.…”

“…Increased levels of CysC were found to be an independent predictor of CV events (cardiac death, nonfatal MI or unstable angina) at 6-month to 1-year follow-up of patients with non-ST elevation ACS compared to highsensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and sCr. 36,37 CysC was also found to be the most valuable parameter compared to CRP, N-terminal proBNP, and troponin I in prediction of LV dysfunction progression in patients with a first STEMI. 38 Moreover, in a group of 240 patients admitted to the hospital with acute exacerbation of HF, CysC level was significantly associated with risk of death or rehospitalization during 1-year followup.…”
