Prognostic value of C-Reactive Protein in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Introduction: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is among the most common, serious, chronic and life- threatening illnesses in the world. CAD represents a spectrum of conditions, with acute myocardial infarction at one end of it and silent ischemia at the other. There is growing evidence on importance of prognosis of C- reactive protein (CPR) in unstable angina and this protein is a maker of an adve...
متن کاملDifferent distribution of pentraxin 3 and C-reactive protein in coronary atherosclerotic plaques.
AIM To understand the differences between histopathological characteristics related to PTX3 (pentraxin 3) and CRP (C-reactive protein) in coronary atherosclerotic plaques. METHODS AND RESULTS To assess the localization of PTX3 and CRP in coronary plaque, immunohistochemistry was performed using 157 coronary artery specimens from 45 autopsied cases. Overall, immunoreactivity to CRP was more in...
متن کاملC-REACTIVE PROTEIN RESPONSE IN ANGINA PECTORIS
C-reactive protein (CRP) response was studied in 44 patients with acute angina pectoris admitted to the coronary care unit. 71 % of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI)had positive CRP test while 73% of patients presumed to have unstable angina pectoris had negative CRP test. This test can be helpful in differentiating between acute MI and unstable angina pectoris.
متن کاملLocal release of C-reactive protein from vulnerable plaque or coronary arterial wall injured by stenting.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess local release of C-reactive protein (CRP) from atherosclerotic plaques or the vessel wall injured by stenting. BACKGROUND Recent research has focused on the local production of CRP, especially in inflammatory atherosclerotic plaques. METHODS The study consisted of two separate protocols. In protocol 1, we measured serum high-sensitivity-CRP...
متن کاملC-reactive protein and coronary disease.
Inflammation has been proposed as a contributor to different stages in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CHD), including the lifelong process of atherogenesis, the acute atherothrombotic event that causes ischemic necrosis in acute myocardial infarction, and the myocardial damage after ischemia.1,2 C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute-phase plasma protein synthesized by the liver, is th...
