New data show Lp-PLA2 and CRP associated with incidence of coronary
heart disease
Research News Release : 2-Apr-2003
< http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2003-04/jai-nds040203.php >

  Late-breaking data presented today at the American College of Cardiology's
  52nd Annual Scientific Session show that both lipoprotein-associated
  phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) and high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein
(hs-CRP)
  are independently associated with the incidence of coronary heart disease
  (CHD). The data also determined that individuals with normal low-density
  lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), but with high levels of Lp-PLA2 or hs-CRP,
  may be at risk for a CHD event.
