| Core Tip |
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a multifaceted disease, with significant cardiovascular morbidity. Our innovative approach to this pathophysiologic relationship harbors several key ideas. First, HBV infection may carry a specific atherosclerosis distribution pattern, with predilection for carotid arteries. Second, we propose wider use of more sensitive inflammatory markers, such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and homocysteine. Third, macrophage phenotype function should be investigated, utilizing its potential role as an atherosclerosis biomarker in HBV infection and therapeutic target. Last but not least, we reason that statins should be exploited more in current practice, due to their favorable pleotropic effects. |
