Several studies (C. M. Albert, Ma, Rifai, Stampfer, & Ridker, 2002; Pearson et al., 2003) have shown that CRP, in particular, is an independent predictor of future events (myocardial infarction, restenosis after PCI and death) as well as providing additional information in the assessment of cardiovascular risk. Here, CRP is linked to myocardial infarction.
