THE VALUES OF C - REACTIVE PROTEIN FOR SOME EARLY- DIAGNOSED WITH MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION PATIENTS

Abstract

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an indirect risk factor in the acute coronary syndromes [2,13,21]. Its high levels may reflect one of the following cases: an inflammation of the coronary arteries as a response to the infectious agents; the severeness of the inflammatory response within the atherosclerotic vessels; inflammation expansion associated with myocardial ischemia; inflammation expansion associated with myocardial necrosis. Therefore, CRP indicates the cardiac lesions specific to various coronary heart diseases. The prognostic value of CRP augmentation appears to be more important in the patients affected by myocardial lesions [21]. This present study is aimed to determine the CRP levels in female and male patients of different age groups, early diagnosed with myocardial infarction
