Correlation of High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Calcific Aortic Valve Disease

The Hs-CRP seems to have a significant association with CAVD during its early stage. The study findings did not have sufficient evidence to suggest the use of Hs-CRP as a marker of progression of calcific aortic stenosis. The Hs-CRP may have a role in identifying patients in the early stages of CAVD and in whom medical treatment may be beneficial to halt the progression to irreversible aortic valvular calcification and stenosis.
