Relationship between high sensitivity C-reaction protein and coronary heart diseases and its prognosis

Objective It is to study the relationship between high sensitivity C-reaction protein(HsCRP) and coronary heart diseases(CHD) and its prognosis.Methods 78 cases of patients with CHD including 36 cases with acute myocardial infarction(AMI) and 42 cases with angina pectoris were chosen and their HsCRP was measured when they were hospitalized.Then the levels of HsCRP were dynamicly determined during the acute phase and convalescent phase.The results were compared with those in control group and TC.Results The levels of HsCRP in patients with CHD were significantly higher than those in the control subjects(P0.01).The levels and the positive rates of HsCRP was significantly higher in patients with AMI than those in patients with AP(P0.01),and they were both higher than TC.The level of HsCRP rose in the acute phase of AMI or AP,either lowered to primal level in the convalescent phase.Conclusion HsCRP is an independent risk factor of CHD,and it has a good preventing function on the invasion and prognosis of CHD and a good referred value for evaluating the curative effect.
