Key result
Higher admission hs-CRP levels were independently associated with the development of poor myocardial perfusion after primary PCI in patients with acute MI (OR 1.85; 95% CI 1.23-2.80; P=0.003).

Odds Ratio: 1.85 (95% CI 1.23–2.8)
p-value: p=0.003
High admission hs-CRP levels and prolonged pain-to-balloon time are independent predictors of poor angiographic myocardial perfusion after primary PCI in patients with acute anterior MI.
Celık et al. (2005) conducted an observational in Acute myocardial infarction (n=75). Admission high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels was evaluated on Poor myocardial perfusion (TMPG 0-1) (OR 1.85, 95% CI 1.23-2.80, p=0.003). Higher admission hs-CRP levels were independently associated with the development of poor myocardial perfusion after primary PCI in patients with acute MI (OR 1.85; 95% CI 1.23-2.80; P=0.003).
