Resumen
PEREZ DIAZ, Pedro et al. Circulating markers of inflammation and severity of coronary atherosclerosis in acute coronary syndrome: Prospective observational study in a general university hospital. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2020, vol.27, n.6, pp.630-636. Epub 04-Ago-2021. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2019.11.007.
Objective:
To determine whether there is a relationship between C - reactive protein and fibrinogen levels and the extent of atherosclerosis in acute coronary syndrome.
Methods:
A prospective observational study was conducted that include 873 patients with coronary syndrome treated in a hospital between the years 2016 and 2018. An analysis was made that included C - reactive protein and fibrinogen levels, metabolic markers, extent of coronary atherosclerosis.
Results:
No positive correlation was found between the C - reactive protein and fibrinogen levels and the metabolic markers, nor with one, two, or three vessel disease (P=.829; P=.810).
Conclusions:
Although blood C-Reactive Protein and fibrinogen levels are associated with the rate of cardiovascular events, this study was unable to demonstrate whether there is a relationship between these and the severity of the coronary atherosclerosis.
