Low-grade inflammation as a risk factor for cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes
Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes is a condition associated with a state of low-grade inflammation caused by adipose tissue dysfunction and insulin resistance. High sensitive-CRP (hs-CRP) is a marker for systemic low-grade inflammation and higher plasma levels have been associated with cardiovascu...
