High levels of inflammatory biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukins, tumor necrosing factor alpha, (TNFα), von-Willebrand factor (vWF), hematocrit, and D-dimer concentrations have been reported following natural disasters and earthquakes supporting this hypothesized mechanism for stress-induced cardiovascular complications including hypertension (3–6). Here, CRP is linked to hypertensive disorder.
