Predictive value of C-reactive protein after successful coronary-artery stenting in patients with stable angina

Plasma levels of C-reactive protein were measured 72 hours after successful coronary artery stenting in 76 patients with stable angina pectoris. At 12-month follow-up, the cumulative event rate was higher in patients with abnormal levels of C-reactive protein than that observed in patients with norm...

Description
Summary:	Plasma levels of C-reactive protein were measured 72 hours after successful coronary artery stenting in 76 patients with stable angina pectoris. At 12-month follow-up, the cumulative event rate was higher in patients with abnormal levels of C-reactive protein than that observed in patients with normal C-reactive protein who were event free.
