Abstract
Background: Inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD). Aim and Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the relation of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) with the presence and severity of CAD. Study Design: This was a cross-sectional, observational study done on patients with diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing coronary angiogram (CAG). Materials and Methods: A total of 100 patients were included in this study satisfying the inclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria were patients with the diagnosis of ACS undergoing CAG. All enrolled patients underwent hs-CRP, hemoglobin, serum creatinine, fasting lipid profile, blood sugar level, resting 12-lead electrocardiogram, creatine kinase–myocardial band, troponin -I, and CAG. Statistical Analysis: Data were analyzed for mean, percentage, standard deviation and Chi-square test for quantitative data using SPSS software version 21 (trial version), and P 3 mg/L. The significant number of patients with double-vessel disease (DVD) and triple-vessel disease (TVD) had an hs-CRP level between 1 and 3 mg/L compared to single-vessel disease (SVD) with P 3 mg/L (P
