Relationship between C-reactive protein and prognosis of acute coronary syndrome in aged patients / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the relationship between c-reactive protein and prognosis of acute coronary syndrome.Methods C-reactive protein of 60 acute coronary syndrome aged patients was evaluated.The patients were divided into two groupsone group with higher CRP level and another group with normal CRP level.The following-up duration was 6 months.After correct therapy,the morbidity of re-angina,arrbythmia,heart failure,re-infarction and cardiac death was compared.Results The morbidity of re-angina,arrhythmia,heart failure,re-infarction,cardiac death was 46.3%(19/41),43.9%(18/41),9.8%(4/41),22.0%(9/41),7.3%(3/41)respectively in higher Clip levd group;The morbidity of re-angina,arrhythmia,heart failure,re-infarction was 15.8%(3/19),10.5%(2/19),5.3%(1/19),5.3%(1/19)respectively in normal CRP group and there was no cardiac death accident.There was significant difference between the two groups.Conclusion CRP plays an important role in the onset of acute coronary syndrome,and its level is related with the higher morbidity of re-angina,arrbythmia,heart failure,re-infarction and cardiac death.
