Detection and Analysis of the high sensitive C-reactive protein levels in 161 cases with coronary heart diseases

Objective:To explore the correlation of the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(HS-CRP) levels and coronary artery disease.Methods:161 patients with coronary heart disease were divided into three groups,86 cases with chronic coronary ischemia,42 cases with angina pectoris and 33 cases with acute myocardial infarction.Their HS-CRP levels were measured by testing their fasting venous blood samples the next day when they were admitted to the hospital.Results:The HS-CRP levels of the patients in the 3 groups were significantly above the normal reference values(0～3 mg/L),which was of signifantly difference between the 3 groups(P0.01).Conclusions:It is suggested that the Hs-CRP level is closely correlated with severity degree of the coronary heart disease.
