Diagnostic implications of TC/HDL-C and high sensitive C-reactive protein in diagnosis of coronary heart disease

Objective To investigate the value of serum high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) together with total cholesterol(TC)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) as a predictor risk factor for future coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods TC,HDL-C and hs-CRP were measured in 260 patients. Results The serum hs-CRP levels in patients with coronary heart disease were significantly increased than those in normal group, P0.01. The ratio of TC and HDL-C in patients with coronary heart disease was significantly increased than that in normal group,P0.01. Conclusions The serum hs-CRP, ratio of TC and HDL-C increase accuracy of early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease.
