C-reactive protein in atherosclerosis: A causal factor?

abstract：OBJECTIVE:It has been proposed that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection-induced inflammatory environment may contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies have also demonstrated the potential role of estrogen as therapeutic agents in the prevention or treatment of cardiovascular dis...
