Association between High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Left Ventricular Diastolic Function Assessed by Echocardiography in Patients with Cardiovascular Risk Factors

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) has been demonstrated to play a causal role in atherosclerosis and to predict cardiovascular events in the general population. On the other hand, left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction assessed by echocardiography can also predict card...
