| 41. | Previous studies by Ridker and others have found that statins, the drugs used to lower cholesterol, also lower C-reactive protein.
|
| 42. | "C-reactive proteins don't cause a heart attack, " said Dr . Lewis H . Kuller of the University of Pittsburgh.
|
| 43. | He said randomized trials would be needed before putting massive numbers of patients on statins because of high C-reactive protein levels.
|
| 44. | All the samples were analyzed for the level of C-reactive protein, a substance long known to signal the presence of inflammation.
|
| 45. | He checked for C-reactive protein, one of many body chemicals that go up during systemic inflammation, and found a strong link.
|
| 46. | The role of C-reactive protein in mediating the effect of ambient particle exposures on the causation of CAD has been reviewed.
|
| 47. | The results of the JUPITER trial ( 2008 ) suggested rosuvastatin may decrease the relative risk of highly sensitive C-reactive protein.
|
| 48. | He said he hoped soon to launch a nationwide study of statins in people with low cholesterol but high C-reactive protein levels.
|
| 49. | It can be measured with a test that checks for C-reactive protein, or CRP, a chemical necessary for fighting injury and infection.
|
| 50. | A reactive protein found in veins may indicate the presence of unstable plaque, but it doesn't give a specific location, Willerson said.
