Abstract

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) are hypothesized to be biomarkers of systemic inflammation and risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. Little is known, however, about the stability of these markers over time, and in particular, about the effects of acute vascular events on these marker levels.
