CRP and myocardial infarction: Between the two PLR groups we found further statistically significant differences in other vascular endpoints (prior myocardial infarction (42(3.5%) vs. 51(5.7%), p = 0.02), in occurrence of ulcerations (209(17.0%) vs. 342(38.3%), p<0.001), and in inflammatory parameters (CRP (median 5.0 mg/l (2.0–10.0) vs. 7.0 mg/l (3.0–24.25) and fibrinogen (median 372 mg/dl (317.25–455.75) vs. 457.0 mg/dl (359.0–583.0); both p<0.001) as well (Table 2).
