Additionally, Sforzini et al. found that high-sensitivity CRP (hsCRP), an inflammatory biomarker, was positively correlated with depressive symptom severity in CHD patients (Sforzini et al., 2019), and Pizzi et al. identified that depression positively correlated with intima-media thickening (IMT; (Pizzi et al., 2010). Here, CRP is linked to coronary artery disorder.
