Introduction: CRP (as measured by high sensitivity assay (HsCRP) is the inflammatory marker of choice, as it has more stability, assay precision, accuracy and availability³.

Objective: The present study was designed to evaluate- The relationship between HsCRP values and complications in patients with acute coronary.

Methodology

Study Design: Case Control Observational Study.

Study Duration: 20 July 2017 to 20 March 2018.

Results: The most common complication seen was arrthymias and it was observed that increase in HsCRP values went hand in hand with increase in number of complications.

Conclusion: More the value of HsCRP, more the complications, but with low and average risk, nil or less complications.
