Hongju Sun

Abstract

Objective To study the serum levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods The serum levels of hs-CRP in ACS group(n=60),stable angina pectoris(SAP) group(n=30) and normal control group(n=30) were detected by immune nephelometry.Results The serum levels of hs-CRP were significantly higher in the ACS group(8.05±2.48)mg/L than that in the SAP group(2.27±0.84)mg/L and the control group(2.17±0.91) mg/L(P0.05).There was no significance difference between the SAP group and the control group(P0.05).Conclusions The serum levels of hs-CRP play an important role in the risk stratification of ACS,and can be used as one of the risk profile indexes.
