Prognostic Value of High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Lipoprotein (a) in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients Receiving Emergency Percutaneous Coronary InterventionIn order to study the prognostic value of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] in patients receiving emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we retrospectively reviewed 118 patients who received emergency PCI following AMI from January 2007 to April 2010. The plasma levels of hsCRP and Lp(a) were determined. The incidence of cardiovascular events was compared between patients with an elevated hsCRP level and those with a normal hsCRP level and between patients with an elevated Lp(a) level and those with a normal Lp(a) level. Results showed that the incidence of cardiovascular events was 52.9% in the hsCRP-elevated group and 18.2% in the hsCRP-normal group displaying a significant difference (P=0.011). However, the incidence of cardiovascular events was 35.3% in the Lp(a)-elevated group and 46.4% in the Lp(a)-normal group and statistical analysis revealed no significant difference (P=0.733). HsCRP, but not Lp(a), can serve as a prognostic factor for patients receiving emergency PCI following AMI.

Background: This study evaluated the association of the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein to prealbumin ratio (CPR) with adverse cardiovascular events after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: The study included 682 patients who presented with STEMI and were treated with primary PCI. Patients were divided into 2 groups: high CPR (CPR ≥0.02) and low CPR (CPR <0.02). The primary endpoint of the study was the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as cardiovascular mortality or admission due to recurrent AMI or heart failure. Multivariate Cox regression models were used to assess the prognostic value of CPR on MACE in patients with STEMI. Results: During a median follow-up of 18 months, the accumulated incidence rate of MACE was significantly higher in the high-CPR group than in the low-CPR group (38.7% versus 12.0%, P < .01). Multivariate analysis revealed that CPR was an independent predictor for increased risk of MACE (hazard ratio = 3.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.14 to 4.49, P < .01). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve for predicting the diagnosis of MACE was higher for CPR (0.82, 95% CI 0.77 to 0.87) than hs-CRP (0.70, 95% CI 0.65 to 0.75). Conclusion: CPR was independently associated with MACE and can be used for risk stratification in patients with STEMI.
