Association between the concentration of the serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and acute myocardial infaraction / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the association between the concentration of the high-sensitivity C-reac-tive protein(hs-CRP) and acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods The concentration of hs-CRP and serum cholesterol were determined by latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetry in 356 patients with AMI and 356 healthy con-trols.Results The concentration hs-CRP was significantly higher in patients with AMI[(18.6±6.9)mg/L ]than in healthy controls[(2.5±1.7)mg/L,P<0.01].and so the concentration of triglyceride(TG)and low-density lip-oprotein(LDL-C)(P<0.05).Conclusion The concentration of serum hs-CRP can predict the risk of AMl with higher prediction value than TG and LDL-C.
