Relation between C-reactive protein levels on admission and pattern of acute myocardial infarction onset
Abstract：Objective To examine the relation between CRP levels on admission and the onset pattern of AMI to estimate the contribution of inflammation to the pathogenesis of AMI.Methods Total 96 patients with AMI according to their CRP levels within the first 6 hours after the onset of AMI are divided into three groups,group C,n＝53(CRP 0.002～0.00 6 g/L);group L,n＝25(CRP＜0.026 g/L);group H,n＝18(CRP≥0.026 g/L).Coronary angi ography was performed immediately after admission in all patients.CRP levels were measured by scatter rate turbidity comparison.Results Patients with elevated CRP levels were more likely to have had ahistory of unsta ble angina and symptom onset at lower level of physical activity than those with out elevated CRP levels (P＜0.05,P＜0.001).Conclusion The pathogenesis of AMI may be influenced by preexisting inflammatory activity.
