Are LF and hs-CRP associated with functional ischemia in patients with new-onset unstable angina pectoris?
LF and hs-CRP may provide additive value to classical cardiovascular risk factors in predicting the functional severity of coronary artery stenosis.
LF and hs-CRP are independently associated with functional ischemia in patients with new-onset UAP. The relative increase of LF and hs-CRP could add value to the use of classical cardiovascular risk factors to predict the functional severity of coronary artery stenosis. Our results suggest a potential association between the autonomic nervous system, inflammation, and coronary artery physiology.
Wang et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
