Inflammatory Markers in Coronary Artery Disease: is C-Reactive Protein Losing the Game?
Keywords:
Inflammation, Coronary Artery Disease, Risk Factors.Abstract
Coronary artery disease has been accepted as an inflammatory condition due to the presence of pro-inflammatory biomarkers. Previous observational studies regarding the association between inflammatory markers and CAD are inconsistent and suggest that the association may be biased and confounded. Alternatively, a potentially powerful approach
