Significant association of C-reactive protein with arterial stiffness in treated non-diabetic hypertensive patients

In conclusion, hsCRP was associated with arterial stiffness, independent of age, systolic BP, gender, heart rate, glucose, lipid profiles and medications in treated hypertension. Therefore, hsCRP could be a useful marker of arterial stiffness in treated hypertension patients and a possible target for arterial inflammation in hypertension.
