Abstract :
C-reactive protein (CRP) mRNA was detected in coronary plaque. Plasma CRP levels across the coronary circulation were increased much more in patients with unstable angina pectoris and somewhat more in those with stable angina pectoris compared with controls whose coronary arteries were angiographically normal. Thus, CRP within coronary plaque might contribute to increased plasma CRP levels across coronary circulation, particularly among patients with unstable angina pectoris.
