Why the study?
Does high basal CRP on admission predict lower myocardial salvage in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing reperfusion therapy?
Does high basal CRP on admission predict lower myocardial salvage in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing reperfusion therapy?
High basal CRP levels on admission predict lower myocardial salvage and higher 18-month mortality in AMI patients, particularly those treated with thrombolysis alone.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High admission CRP signals poorer salvage and survival after AMI reperfusion; leaves open whether targeting inflammation improves outcomes.
