New Weapon For Heart Disease (CBS, February 24, 2005)
A little-known protein may be able to control inflammation in the blood vessels and battle heart disease. The Early Show's Dr. Emily Senay reports.
(CBS) Inflammation could be a prime culprit in heart disease, a new study shows.
In fact, reports The Early Show medical correspondent Dr. Emily Senay, a new school of thought is emerging that says inflammation may play a larger role in heart disease than cholesterol levels.
Senay explains that inflammation is the body's natural immune system reaction to infection or injury, like the redness and swelling around a wound. It can also occur in tissues and the blood vessels within the body, where we can't see or feel it.
It happens in blood vessels along with the fat buildup associated with hardening of the arteries.
Other causes include high blood pressure or chronic low-level infections that put constant pressure on the immune system.
Inflammation is measured with a blood test for C-reactive protein, or CRP, which is produced by the body when it's fighting off infection.
A new study offers the strongest evidence yet that inflammation is a major factor in the progression of heart disease.
