CORRELATION AND RISK STRATIFICATION OF hsCRP WITH IDENTICATION OF COMPLEX CULPRIT LESIONS IN UNSTABLE ANGINA

Dr. S. Murugan, Dr. K. Raveendran

Abstract


INTRODUCTION:
Unstable angina and Non ST segments elevation Myocardial
infarction remain leading cause of morbidity and mortality
worldwide. C reactive protein is a sensitive early marker of
inflammation can identify complex culprit lesion in unstable
angina as inflammation has been implicated in the
pathophysiology of vulnerable coronary placques.
Identification of high risk category with hs CRP may explore
aggressive interventional approach over conservative
treatment.
