He is responsible for the clinical development of high sensitivity C-reactive protein , a marker of inflammation, that is used to evaluate the risk of heart attack and stroke, and coined the term “residual inflammatory risk” to describe patients who are at risk due to vascular inflammation rather than high cholesterol levels.
For most substances presented, the optimal levels are the ones normally found in the population as well. More specifically, optimal levels are generally close to a central tendency of the values found in the population. However, usual and optimal levels may differ substantially, most notably among vitamins and blood lipids, so these tables give ...

After analyzing nearly 100 blood panels of widows and widowers, the researchers found that the bereaved with elevated grief symptoms showed 17% higher levels of bodily inflammation — while those ...
The trial focused on patients with normal low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels but increased levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). JUPITER was the first clinical trial to indicate that statin therapy may provide benefit to patients with low-to-normal LDL levels and no known cardiovascular disease.
In 2008, the JUPITER trial showed statins provided benefit in those who had no history of high cholesterol or heart disease, but only in those with elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels, an indicator for inflammation. [156]
ESR begins to rise at 24 to 48 hours after the onset of acute self-limited inflammation, decreases slowly as inflammation resolves, and can take weeks to months to return to normal levels. For ESR values more than 100 mm/hour, there is a 90% probability that an underlying cause would be found upon investigation.
