Why the study?
High sensitivity C-reactive protein predicts myocardial dysfunction after acute coronary syndromes, prompting evaluation of its association at first AMI with myocardial dysfunction and heart failure.
Does high hsCRP at first AMI predict progression to heart failure?
Does high hsCRP at first AMI predict progression to heart failure?
High hsCRP levels at the time of a first acute myocardial infarction are a strong predictor of subsequent myocardial dysfunction and progression to heart failure at 12 months.

May aid post-AMI HF risk stratification; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
