Abstract:
Objective:To explore predictive value of serum high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP) for clinical risk of acute cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods: A total of 122 ACI patients diagnosed in our hospital were regarded as cerebral infarction (CI) group, another 122 patients without ACI who received physical examination in our hospital during the same period were selected as non-CI group.Intima-medium thickness (IMT), plaque location and hsCRP level were compared between two groups, and the relationship among different IMT, plaque types and hsCRP level was analyzed.Results: Compared with non-CI group, there were significant rise in percentages of IMT thickening (1.6% vs.19.7%), carotid atherosclerotic plaques (15.6% vs.69.7%) and unstable plaques (8.2% vs.60.7%) in CI group, P=0.001 all;among CI patients, compared with normal IMT patients, there was significant rise in hsCRP level [(4.7±1.6) mg/L vs.(8.5±2.5) mg/L vs.(12.6±3.9) mg/L] in IMT thickening and IMT plaque formation patients, and hsCRP level of plaque formation patients was significantly higher than that of IMT thickening patients, P=0.001 all;hsCRP level of unstable plaque patients was significantly higher than that of stable plaque patients [(13.7±2.7) mg/L vs.(9.1±2.1) mg/L, P=0.001].Conclusion: Compared with normal IMT patients, there was significant rise in hsCRP level in IMT thickening and IMT plaque formation patients, and hsCRP level of unstable plaque patients was significantly higher than that of stable plaque patients in acute cerebral infarction and non-CI patients, so hsCRP can be used as risk predictor for carotid atherosclerosis and acute cerebral infarction
