Joint Effect of Carotid Plaque and C‐Reactive Protein on First‐Ever Ischemic Stroke and Myocardial Infarction?

Joint Effect of Carotid Plaque and C‐Reactive Protein on First‐Ever Ischemic Stroke and Myocardial Infarction?

BackgroundThe joint effect of atherosclerosis and CRP (C‐reactive protein) on risk of ischemic stroke (IS) and myocardial infarction (MI) has been sparsely studied. The aim of this study was to explore whether CRP mediates the risk of events in subjects with prevalent carotid plaque, examine synergi...
