CRP and cardiac hypertrophy: Besides, our study finding on the insignificant association between the elevated level of hs-CRP and echocardiographic indices such as left ventricular dysfunction and hypertrophy may be affected by considering a narrow range of hs-CRP measurements in our study population that ranged less than 10, hence, by considering a wide range of CRP may reveal a positive association between the elevation of hs-CRP level and left ventricular dysfunction and hypertrophy in echocardiography.
