The prognostic value of high sensitivity C-reactive protein in a multi-ethnic population after >10 years of follow-up: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)

The utility of hsCRP for ASCVD prediction was modest. On the other hand, hsCRP was associated with incident VTE in statin non-users, and all-cause mortality and HF in statin users. In the latter, hsCRP improved the prediction of incident HF events. This finding should be replicated in larger cohorts.
