- Abstract
Background: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) has been proposed as an indicator of inflammation and cardiovascular risk. However, little is known of the comparative temporal profile of hs-CRP and its relation to outcomes according to the disease acuity., Methods: We enrolled 4,263 East Asian patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stable disease. hs-CRP was measured at baseline and 1 month post-PCI. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: the composite occurrence of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke) and major bleeding were followed up to 4 years., Result: The AMI group ( n = 2,376; 55.7%) had higher hs-CRP
baseline than the non-AMI group ( n = 1,887; 44.3%) (median: 1.5 vs. 1.0 mg/L; p < 0.001), which remained higher at 1 month post-PCI (median: 1.0 vs. 0.9 mg/L; p = 0.001). During 1 month, a high inflammatory-risk phenotype (upper tertile: hs-CRPbaseline ≥ 2.4 mg/L) was associated with a greater MACE in the AMI group (adjusted hazard ratio [HRadj ]: 7.66; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.29-25.59; p < 0.001), but not in the non-AMI group (HRadj : 0.74; 95% CI: 0.12-4.40; p = 0.736). Between 1 month and 4 years, a high inflammatory-risk phenotype (upper tertile: hs-CRP1 month ≥ 1.6 mg/L) was associated with greater MACE compared to the other phenotype in both the AMI (HRadj : 2.40; 95% CI: 1.73-3.45; p < 0.001) and non-AMI groups (HRadj : 2.67; 95% CI: 1.80-3.94; p < 0.001)., Conclusion: AMI patients have greater inflammation during the early and late phases than non-AMI patients. Risk phenotype of hs-CRPbaseline correlates with 1-month outcomes only in AMI patients. However, the prognostic implications of this risk phenotype appears similar during the late phase, irrespective of the disease acuity., Competing Interests: P.A.G. has received grants and personal fees from Bayer HealthCare, Otitopic, Amgen, Janssen, and US WorldMeds; grants from Instrumentation Laboratory, Hikari Dx, Haemonetics, Medicure, and Idorsia Pharmaceuticals; personal fees from UpToDate; and has patents “Detection of Restenosis Risk in Patients Issued” and “Assessment of Cardiac Health and Thrombotic Risk in a Patient.” Y-H.
