C-Reactive Protein and CV Risk in the General Population
Description
Inflammation is a key contributor to cardiovascular disease (CVD), influencing both its onset and progression. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) serves as a reliable biomarker for detecting systemic inflammation and assessing cardiovascular risk. Recognizing the role of inflammation helps refine risk stratification and guide preventive strategies in the general population.
In this interview, Nanette Kass Wenger MD, MACC and Prof. Dr. Florian Kahles, MD discuss "C-Reactive Protein and CV Risk in the General Population".
