Evidence for the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is compelling and has generated interest in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) as a marker of cardiovascular risk. Data regarding hs-CRP and cardiovascular risk, though largely consistent, is of unclear clinical relevance. Most recently, the Justification for the Use of Statins in Primary Prevention: An Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosuvastatin (JUPITER) trial has led to further debate regarding the utility of hs-CRP. This article provides a comprehensive review of the data regarding cardiovascular risk and hs-CRP with an emphasis on the JUPITER trial and concludes with an evidence-based analysis of the current role of hs-CRP in cardiovascular risk assessment.
有充分的证据表明炎症在动脉粥样硬化的发病机制中起作用,这引起了人们对高敏 C 反应蛋白(hs-CRP)作为心血管风险标志物的兴趣。虽然 hs-CRP 与心血管风险的数据在很大程度上是一致的,但它的临床相关性尚不清楚。最近,他汀类药物在一级预防中的应用的合理性:评价瑞舒伐他汀的干预试验(JUPITER 试验)进一步引发了关于 hs-CRP 效用的争论。本文对心血管风险和 hs-CRP 的相关数据进行了全面的回顾,重点介绍了 JUPITER 试验,并对 hs-CRP 在心血管风险评估中的当前作用进行了基于证据的分析。
