[Clinical evaluation of arteriosclerosis using high sensitive CRP in multiphasic screening].
In order to identify the chronic inflammation, hsCRP measurement at several time are recommended. The continuous higher value of CRP is observed as the signal of the chronic inflammation. In this case the average of CRP was more than 0.15mg/dl and the standard deviation was less than 100%. In this study, the hsCRP showed the biggest AUC (Aria Under Curve) at acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The blood pressure showed the biggest AUC at stroke. The event rate for AMI of patients who have the continuous higher CRP value is higher than the normal control. The relative risk for AMI is 20 fold. On the other hand, the relative risk for stroke is less than 1 fold. The key factor of the disease was suggested difference between AMI and stroke.
