    hs-CRP: Inflammation and CRP Interpretation

    In this episode, Dr. Brittany Weber discusses the role of inflammation and high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) in cardiovascular disease. She explores the connection between inflammation and atherosclerosis and how immune system activation contributes to atherosclerosis development, the importance of endothelial damage and pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the impact of systemic inflammatory diseases on cardiovascular risk. Tune in to learn about the mechanisms behind inflammation in cardiovascular disease and the significance of hsCRP as a biomarker.

    Panel Discussion on Screening for hs-CRP

    In this episode, Dr. Amir Rezvan hosts a panel discussion with distinguished colleagues Dr. Paul Ridker, Dr. Brendan Everett, Dr. Michael Garshick, and Dr. Kaitlin Voigts Key. The panel explores what high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) is and its normal levels, the role of hsCRP in diagnosing and treating atherosclerotic disease, and how inflammation and hyperlipidemia contribute to cardiovascular events. The panel provides practical advice on measuring hsCRP and interpreting high values. Tune in for this insightful discussion on the importance of hsCRP in preventive cardiology and how to effectively use this biomarker in clinical practice.

    hs-CRP: Modifying Inflammation with Lifestyle

    In this episode, Dr. Brendan Everett discusses how lifestyle changes can reduce low-grade systemic inflammation. He explores the impact of weight loss on high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP)levels, the benefits of different diet types, and the role of exercise and smoking cessation in managing inflammation. Watch now to learn how lifestyle interventions can play a crucial role in reducing inflammation and improving cardiovascular health.

    hs-CRP: Pharmacologic Interventions

    In this episode, Dr. Michael Garshick discusses the role of pharmacologic interventions in managing inflammation and high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) in cardiovascular (CV) disease. Key topics include the involvement of inflammation in atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis, traditional targets such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, and antiplatelet therapy, and the complexity of targeting inflammation and the inflammasome signaling pathway. He also explores insights from the CANTOS trial on IL-1 beta inhibitors and their impact on CV events and the role of colchicine in reducing CV events and its safety profile. Watch now to learn about the latest advancements in pharmacologic strategies for reducing cardiovascular risk through inflammation management.
