Abstract

Lipids such as total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) are known as good risk factors for coronary artery diseases caused by arthrosclerosis. We measured the serum concentrations of hs-CRP, TC, and HDL-C of 6,128 persons who underwent medical examinations in the Health Screening Center at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital. We classified the subjects into normotensive and hypertensive groups according to the blood pressure measured. We investigated whether there was a difference of hs-CRP and lipids between the normotensive and hypertensive groups. There was significant difference of TC, TC/HDL-C ratio, and hs-CRP concentration between the normotensive and hypertensive groups in both men and women, but there was no significant difference of HDL-C concentration between two groups. Our results indicated that the concentrations of hs-CRP and lipids were higher in patients with hypertension and confirmed the usefulness of lipids and hs-CRP in predicting the risk for coronary artery diseases.
