Background: Development of high sensitivity CRP (Hs-CRP) assays has improved the role of this acute phase reactant in predicting the first cardiovascular events. Hs-CRP levels partially reflect the extent of myocardial necrosis and can be used to predict in hospital and long-term outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction.
Aims and Objectives: The objectives of the study are to study and correlate increased level of Hs-CRP with various traditional risk factors such as age, sex, lifestyle, and comorbidities and to establish increased level of Hs-CRP as an independent marker for cardiovascular events.
Materials and Methods: A 100 patients’ prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at tertiary care center with traditional risk factors and existing cardiovascular diseases. Measurements of Hs-CRP levels were done with immunoturbidimetric methods with statistical correlation. The statistical analysis was done using IBM SPSS version 26 software.
Results: In total 100 patients, 67 patients had Hs-CRP value more than 3 mg/L where-as 33 patients had Hs-CRP value
