Genetic variation in the C-reactive protein gene and arterial stiffness: The Rotterdam Study

Background and aim: Arterial stiffness increases with age and has been found to predict cardiovascular disease. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammation marker and has been found to be associated with arterial stiffness and risk of cardiovascular disease. Genetic factors account for part of the v...
