Long-term impact of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in patients with intermittent claudication due to peripheral artery disease following endovascular treatment

In conclusion, elevated hs-CRP levels were significantly associated with cardiovas cular-related and malignancy-related deaths in patients with intermittent claudication. Furthermore, the result that cancer mortality exceeds cardiovascular mortality is different from previous reports, so the present findings warrant further investigation.
