Study of serum C-reactive protein concentration in cardiac failure.

Abstract: The serum concentration of C-reactive protein was prospectively assessed in 37 patients with various degrees of heart failure. The serum concentration of Creactive protein was higher than normal in 26 (70%/0) patients. The concentration was directly related to the severity of heart failure and the stage of decompensation. Hepatic cell damage is the most likely stimulus to cytokine production and hence release of C-reactive protein in heart failure. Heart failure is an additional cause of raised serum concentra… Show more

“…This finding is consistent with prior publications showing that hsCRP elevation seems to be related to overt heart failure presentation rather than left ventricular systolic function per se. [27][28][29][30] Furthermore, a history of a recent acute MI was independently associated with elevated hsCRP, whereas coronary lesion characteristics (multivessel disease, presence of peripheral or cerebral vascular disease, and prior revascularization) were not. These data support the concept that preprocedural inflammation is associated to a large extent with the biological activity of coronary and cardiac disease processes rather than their anatomical severity.…”

“…CRP seems to be increased in HF patients [18][19][20]. Anand et al [19] suggested that higher CRP concentration is associated with more severe HF, and independently with increased morbidity and mortality.…”

“…2 BNP-related peptides and CRP are elevated in congestive heart failure (CHF), and the levels correlate with symptom severity and prognosis. [3][4][5][6][7][8] Additionally, elevated CRP level predicts risk of CHF, 9 -11 and recently, Wang et al 12 reported BNP level predicts risk of death and cardiovascular events, including CHF, in an asymptomatic population. However, limited data are available directly comparing CRP and BNP-related peptides in persons at risk of CHF.…”
