Background And Purpose

Inflammation plays a key role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. Little is known about the association between high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) especially long-term hs-CRP and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis (ACAS) in healthy Chinese adults. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between hs-CRP levels and the prevalence of ACAS in a Chinese community-based cohort.
