Abstract

Objective To study the changes of C- reactive protein (CRP) level in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and their correlation. Methods The levels of CRP in peripheral serum of 82 ACS patients and 60 normal control were measured respectively by scatter rate turbidity. Results The levels of CRP in ACS group were higher than that in control group(P 0. 01). There was significant difference in the level of CRP between AMI subgroup and UA subgroup(P0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratio(OR) of CRP was 1, indicating that CRP was risk factor. CRP was independent in the course of ACS. Conclusions The increase of CRP is independent risk factor in morbidity and development of ACS. As an index, CRP can be used in the estimation of prognosis.
