Background: In coronary artery disease (CAD), plaque progression and plaque composition are associated with cardiovascular risk. Whether compositional plaque progression in non-obstructive CAD differs between women and men is less studied.
Methods: We included 31 patients (42% women) with chronic non-obstructive CAD from the Norwegian Registry of Invasive Cardiology, undergoing serial coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) on clinical indication (median inter-scan interval 1.
Article Synopsis
- C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are lower in individuals with the APOEε4 allele, potentially influenced by factors like body mass index (BMI), diabetes, and statin use.
- The study analyzed 2,700 older adults to explore the connection between CRP levels and APOEε4 status while considering BMI, diabetes, and statin medication.
- Results showed that APOEε4 carriers had higher CRP levels regardless of BMI, diabetes, or statin use, indicating that CRP response to inflammation may differ in these individuals, highlighting implications for neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases.
