The relationship study between serum C-reactive protein and the risk factors of CHD as well as the severity of coronary lesions / 中国介入心脏病学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the relationships between serum C-reactive protein(CRP) level and the risk factors of coronary heart disease ( CHD) as well as the severity of coronary lesions. Methods In 50 patients with primary diagnoses as unstable angina that were undergone coronary angiography, the serum CRP levels were measured by using particle enhanced immunonephelometry. The relationships between the serum CRP level and the risk factors of CHD as well as the severity of coronary lesions were assessed. Results Serum CRP level was higher in patients with hypertension (4.87?3.82)mg/ml vs. (1.81 ? 2.17)mg/ml, P = 0.0038
