Relationship between serum level of hs-CRP and nature of cronary atherosclerotic plaques in elderly patients with CHD
Abstract：Objective To study the relationship between the serum level of hs‐CRP and the nature of coronary atherosclerotic plaques in elderly patients with CHD .Methods Ninety‐seven patients with chronic stable angina pectoris (40 males and 57 females)were included in this study .The na‐ture of their coronary atherosclerotic plaques was assessed by coronary arteriography .Their ser‐um hs‐CRP levels were measured .The relationship between the serum level of hs‐CRP and the na‐ture of coronary atherosclerotic plaques was studied .Results The mean age of males and females was 66 .5 ± 9 .9 years and 62 .8 ± 10 .9 years ,the mean plaque burden was 62 .20% ± 8 .60% and 67.30% ± 10 .10% ,the maximal fibrotic composition accounted for 55 .18% ± 13 .13% and 58 .30% ± 10 .39% ,the minimal calcified composition accounted for 21 .2% ± 13 .8% and 24 .6% ± 12 .45% .T he serum hs‐CRP level w as 8 .5 ± 10 .1 mg/L in males and 6 .5 ± 6 .4 mg/L in females . The fibrotic plaque compositin ,fibrotic fatty ,necrotic and calcified compositions were not related with the serum hs‐CRP level .Conclusion The serum hs‐CRP level is not related with the nature of coronary atherosclerotic plaques in patients with chronic stable angina pectoris .
