Correlation of C-reactive protein and cardiac enzymes with angiographic severity of coronary artery disease in Pakistani patients with acute coronary syndrome

ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the correlation of C-reactive protein [CRP] levels with the severity of coronary stenosis on angiography and the association of cardiac enzymes with the degree of stenosis in acute coronary syndrome [ACS] patients. Secondly, to compare association of angiographic severity of vascular stenosis with CRP in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI] and non-STEMI / Unstable angina [UA]
