Abstract

Objective:To investigate the Correlations between serum high sensitivity C reactive protein(CRP) level and cardiac functions in acute myocardial infarction.Methods:The serum levels of CRP and BNP were examined in 50 healthy adults and 121 patients with AMI.Left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) was measured by echocardiography and the levels of CRP and BNP were detected by ELISA.Results:Compared with control group,AMI patients had high serum levels of CRP and BNP(P0.01).The serum levels of CRP and BNP of Killip III and IV class is higher than those of Killip I and II class CRP(P0.01).Conclusion:Just as BNP,The serum CRP level can be a sensitive index in the patients with acute myocardial infarction.
