Abstract

ABSTRACT
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (acute MI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and its
incidence is increasing day by day.
C- reactive protein (CRP) is a biomarker for the risk prediction and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. It is basically a
marker for assessing ongoing inflammatory process. The research has proved that inflammation or more appropriately
low grade inflammation plays a pivotal role in the etiopathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The measurement of hs-CRP, a
variant of CRP for prognosis and risk prediction of coronary artery diseases has been part of many research projects
since past two decades, throughout the world.
Objective: To determine the prognostic role of hs-CRP in individuals presenting
