Infection and inflammation as risk factors for myocardial infarction.

abstract：BACKGROUND:There is much interest in reported associations between serum C-reactive protein and incident ischaemic heart disease. It is uncertain what this association represents. We aimed to assess the effect of confounding from a number of different sources in the Caerphilly Prospective Heart Disease Study and in par...
