CRP and myocardial infarction: Elevated CRP has been associated with undiagnosed peripheral, coronary, and cerebral artery disease; it differentiates patients with unstable versus stable angina; predicts future MI, stroke and sudden cardiac death in patients with coronary artery disease; correlates with MI; and predicts the presence, degree, and symptomatology of carotid stenosis, as well as early morbidity and late mortality following coronary artery bypass grafting, and late restenosis following percutaneous cardiac interventions.
