Impact of Chronic Inflammation, Assessed by hs-CRP, on the Association between Red Cell Distribution Width and Arterial Cardiovascular Disease: The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-10)
Red cell distribution width (RDW), a measure of variability in size of circulating
erythrocytes, is associated with arterial cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the
underlying mechanism remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the impact of
chronic inflammation as measured by high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) on this
relationship, and explore whether RDW could be a mediator in the causal pathway
between ...
