Clinic Value of Detecting plasma level of C-reactive Protein in Patients with Angina Pectoris

Objective To measure plasma concentration of C-reactive protein (CRP) in patient with angina pectoris and explore the relationship between CRP and the severity of coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods We measured plasma CRP in 17 patients with unstable angina (UA), 20 patients with unstable angina than those in stable angina and normal group (P0.01). In addition, compared concentrations of CRP in SA patients with those in the control group, there was significance (P0.05). The level of CRP increased gradually from the normal control group, the stable angina group to the unstable angina group. Conclusions CRP concentration was closely associated with the occurrence, development and the severity of CHD.
