Why the study?
Are blood uric acid and Hs-CRP levels elevated in individuals with coronary artery ectasia compared to normal individuals?
Are blood uric acid and Hs-CRP levels elevated in individuals with coronary artery ectasia compared to normal individuals?
Blood uric acid and Hs-CRP levels are elevated in patients with coronary artery ectasia and correlate with the extent of the ectasia.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Elevated uric acid and Hs-CRP may mark ectasia severity; leaves open causal role and need for prospective outcome trials.
In conclusion, the blood uric acid and Hs-CRP values in our study have been observed to be higher in the individuals with coronary arteri ectasia in comparison to normal individuals, and the increase in these values were found to be parallel to the extent of the ectasia.
