Why the study?
Does the C-reactive protein/albumin ratio predict coronary artery disease severity better than CRP and albumin alone in patients with stable angina pectoris?
Does the C-reactive protein/albumin ratio predict coronary artery disease severity better than CRP and albumin alone in patients with stable angina pectoris?
The C-reactive protein/albumin ratio may serve as a useful biomarker for predicting complex and severe coronary artery disease in patients with stable angina.
CAR may aid CAD severity stratification in stable angina; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio was more tightly associated with the complexity and severity of CAD than CRP and albumin alone and was found to be an independent predictor for intermediate-high SS group.
