Systemic & Vascular Inflammation

• Systemic vs. Vascular Detection: hs-CRP captures general systemic inflammation, while Lp-PLA2 and MPO target active arterial wall inflammation and endothelial injury. • Coagulation and Endothelial Stress: Fibrinogen highlights pro-thrombotic risk linked to inflammatory states, and homocysteine evaluates amino acid metabolism related to endothelial damage. • Panel Limitations: These biomarkers reveal current inflammatory activity and vascular stress, but they do not quantify plaque.
