Background and Purpose—Several studies have shown, in different populations, that
modest elevation of plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) in the range seen in apparently …

The development of a clinically validated biomarker of acute cerebral ischemia would have
the potential to facilitate the use of time‐sensitive reperfusion strategies, allow for …

Background and Purpose—There is growing evidence of the prognostic importance of C-
reactive protein (CRP) in ischemic stroke. However, the independent value of CRP at …

Background and Purpose—The prognostic influences of fibrinogen and C-reactive protein
(CRP) levels and their relations in ischemic stroke have not been well described. The aim of …

Background and Purpose—Inflammatory response is a critical component of the complex
pathophysiological response to stroke. Vitamin C has been shown to have important roles in …

Summary Background: Low ankle–brachial Index (ABI) identifies patients with symptomatic
and asymptomatic peripheral arterial disease. The aim of this study was to correlate ABI …

Myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke are relevant clinical issues in Western Countries for
morbidity and mortality. In the last decades, great interest has been paid to the identification …

OBJECTIVE: Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is one of the pattern-recognition receptors related to the
initial step of the immune response with C-reactive protein, but the physiologic and …

Studies in different populations have shown that ischemic stroke can trigger an acute phase
response resulting in a rise of plasma concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP). However …

Although the association between elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) level and long-term
outcome after ischemic stroke is well known, the association between CRP and early …
