MZ Diederichsen, SZ Diederichsen, H Mickley… - Atherosclerosis, 2018 - Elsevier
Background and aims Studies have shown that soluble urokinase Plasminogen Activator
Receptor (suPAR) and CRP (both inflammatory markers) and coronary artery calcification
(CAC) are independent risk predictors for cardiovascular (CV) disease. The aim of this study
is to assess whether suPAR and CRP have an increased predictive prognostic value
beyond the traditional CV risk factors and the CAC score. Methods A population sample of
1179 subjects, free of CV disease was included. The subjects underwent traditional CV risk …
