Abstract:
Objective To observe the relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) and the stability of coronary artery lesions and major adverse cardiac events.Methods By using coronary arteriography,coronary heart disease was diagnosed in 30 stable angina patients and 45 unstable ones.serum CRP and troponin T (cTnT) levels were measured on 0hs,6hs,24hs,48hs and 7days after hospital admission.The patients were divided into two groups according to the absence or presence of major adverse cardiac events.Results There was no relationship between CRP level and the severity of coronary artery lesions,whereas the CRP level of unstable angina(3.9?0.4 mg/L)was much higher than that of stable angina(2.2?0.3 mg/L),P
