[C-reactive protein in patients with coronary heart disease].
High-sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a circulating acute-phase reactant that shows the systemic inflammation. Some prospective trials have shown that hs-CRP is a strong predictor of future cardiovascular events. The relative risk associated with hs-CRP is independent of other cardiovascular risk factor.
