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

Figure 3

High upstream expression of CRP is associated with an increased rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) at 18-month follow-up. Kaplan-Meier curve according to high (CRP: >2.9%) and low (CRP: ≤2.9%) CRP expression levels in upstream regions.
