Abstract
The prognostic value of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and obesity in patients with coronary artery disease is controversial. In previous studies, hsCRP was significantly associated with BMI. Thus, we integrated hsCRP and BMI to assess the predictive value in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In this observational cohort study, 478 patients with ACS were enrolled in Fuwai Hospital from 2010 to 2011,with a mean follow-up of 4.2 years. The endpoint of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was the composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, revascularization again, heart failure, or stroke. Compared with patients without MACE, we found that patients with MACE had higher hsCRP (3.86 ± 3.66 vs. 3.00 ± 3.17, P = 0.033). Furthermore, we identified that hsCRP was significantly correlated with BMI (r = 0.134, P = 0.005). Thus, hsCRP level was adjusted by BMI to further clarify its role in the prognosis of patients with ACS. According to the tertiles of hsCRP/BMI ratio, the rates of MACE in the lowest tertile group, the median tertile group, and the highest tertile group were 14.0% (21/150), 14.0% (21/150), and 26% (39/150) (P = 0.008), respectively. In multivariate analysis, hsCRP/BMI was indep...Continue Reading
