Chronic orthostatic intolerance: a disorder with discordant cardiac and vascular sympathetic control.

abstract：BACKGROUND:C-reactive protein (CRP), a well-recognized marker of atherosclerosis, has recently been suggested to have a direct proinflammatory effect. The constitutive expression of low levels of CRP in normal plasma suggests the likelihood that a natural factor exists to neutralize the effect of CRP. This factor(s) ha...
