Elevated levels of C-reactive protein at discharge in patients with unstable angina predict recurrent instability.
BACKGROUND In a group of patients admitted for unstable angina, we investigated whether C-reactive protein (CRP) plasma levels remain elevated at discharge and whether persistent elevation is associated with recurrence of instability. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured plasma levels of CRP, serum amyloid A protein (SAA), fibrinogen, total cholesterol, and Helicobacter pylori and Chlamydia pneumo...
متن کاملPlasma levels of C-reactive protein after coronary stent implantation.
AIMS This study was designed to investigate the role of inflammation on the occurrence of angiographic restenosis 6 months after coronary stent implantation and the influence of different kinds of antithrombotic and antiplatelet strategies on inflammation. METHODS AND RESULTS In an open randomized trial, 40 consecutive patients were treated with aspirin (100 mg. day(-1)) and either ticlopidin...
متن کاملPreprocedural serum levels of C-reactive protein predict early complications and late restenosis after coronary angioplasty.
OBJECTIVES We sought to investigate whether early and late outcome after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) could be predicted by baseline levels of acute-phase reactants. BACKGROUND Although some risk factors for acute complications and restenosis have been identified, an accurate preprocedural risk stratification of patients undergoing PTCA is still lacking. METHODS Lev...
متن کاملSerum Level of High Sensitive C-Reactive Protein in Normal and Preeclamptic Pregnancies
Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the level of plasma high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in preeclampsia and to compare hs-CRP levels between normal pregnant women, mild preeclamptic, and severe preeclamptic women. Materials and Methods: Serum hs-CRP levels were inv...
