Inflammation plays an important role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and in the pathogenesis of acute cardiovascular events. Recent studies have indicated a possible association between C-reactive protein (CRP) and the clinical outcome of coronary artery disease (CAD). We studied prospectively in a group of 125 patients with premature CAD whether plasma levels of CRP as measured with a high-sensitivity assay predict risk for future coronary events. All patients had stable CAD at time of blood sampling but had originally been seen with unstable angina or myocardial infarction. The mean follow-up time after blood collection was 54 months, and death, myocardial infarction, need for coronary revascularization, or admission to hospital with angina pectoris were defined as clinical end points.
