Intraplaque Expression of C-Reactive Protein Predicts Cardiovascular Events in Patients with Severe Atherosclerotic Carotid Artery Stenosis

<div>Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis for CRP expression in upstream and downstream portions of carotid plaques. The predictive value of CRP expression toward the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) at 18-month follow-up was tested. (a) CRP expression in the upstream portion. (b) CRP expression in the downstream portion.</div>
