Abstract:
Objective To detect the serum level of C-reactive protein in the hypertension patients and analyze its relationship with the heart function impairment. Methods The hypertension patients who had no, or mild, or severe heart function impairment were selected and accordingly divided into 3 groups (n=26 in each group). Meanwhile another 26 healthy subjects served as normal controls. The heart function of all subjects were evaluated and scored according to heart function classified schedule published by New York Heart Disease Association (1928) and CRP levels were measured by scatter turbidimetry within 24 h after diagnosis. Results The scores of heart function for healthy patients and the hypertension patients without heart function impairment were within the normal range and their serum CRP levels were at the basic level. The scores and the serum CRP levels of the hypertension patients with mild heart function impairment were higher than that of healthy subjects and the hypertension patients without heart function impairment (P
