Relation between C-reactive protein, treadmill exercise testing, and inducible myocardial ischemia - 26/08/11
Abstract |
This study examined the relation between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), exercise-induced myocardial ischemia, and exercise tolerance in 288 stable patients who underwent maximal treadmill stress testing. CRP was correlated with peak exercise workload, which was consistent with the long-term predictive value of peak workload and CRP for outcome events. There was no correlation of high-sensitivity CRP with stress-induced ischemia, which is consistent with a lack of correlation between CRP and the degree of chronic luminal coronary arterial narrowing.
