“…It has been shown, however, that hs-CRP levels above 3 mg/L were associated with a decrease in the protective effect of HDL >0.6 g/L. 16 The decrease in ESR also appears clinically relevant. It has been shown that the incidence of carotid atherosclerotic plaques was significantly higher in the psoriasis group (as compared to control group) when inflammatory parameters, including ESR, were increased (34.7% vs. 8.2%, P = 0.001).…”

“…C-reactive protein (CRP) is a circulatory acute phase reactant produced mainly in the liver, but smooth muscle cells of coronary arteries also make this substance. In addition to its role in pathogenesis of CVDs mostly due to initiation and development of atherosclerotic lesions and causing insulin resistance and type 2 DM, this protein enhances the likelihood of plaque rupture [9][10][11][12]. High sensitivity method are used to measure this acute phase reactant protein, which introduced a novel biomarker named high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP).…”

“…3-7 Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA 2 ), a proatherogenic inflammatory marker, has also been shown to be associated with risk for CHD, independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. 8 We recently demonstrated in US adults from the cross-sectional National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey that CRP levels > 3 mg/L are associated with a greater prevalence of CHD at all levels of HDL-C. 9 …”
