CRP and Hypertension: The high rSS with TCFA group had a higher incidence of MACEs (HR, 1.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13–2.08; P = 0.002) than the low rSS without TCFA group, and additional adjustment for other variables such as sex, age, ejection fraction, smoking, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, DM, WBC count, hemoglobin, platelet count, creatine kinase, glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, and C-reactive protein did not alter the significant difference.
