No full textComparison Between Serum hsCRP and LDL Cholesterol for Search of a Better Predictor for Ischemic Heart Disease
No full textAcute myocardial Infarction is one of the major causes of morbidity & mortality in world and atherosclerosis is the major cause of ischemic heart disease. In order to determine the better clinical marker of atherosclerosis, we estimated serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). Hundred patients of myocardial infarction and 100 controls irrespective of age and sex were studied for these parameters over a period of 2Â years. The statistical analysis showed that the serum hsCRP was significantly raised in myocardial infarction cases than controls (PÂ <Â 0.01) but LDL-C was not (PÂ >Â 0.05). We conclude that the serum hsCRP has better predictive value for risk of atherosclerosis
