Hs-TnT, hs-CRP, BNP and sST2 were significant predictors of all-cause mortality in CAD patients with (2.8-, 2.8-, 1.5 and 2.6-fold adjusted risk, respectively, p<0.05 for all) and without T2D (1.9-, 1.6-, 2.6 and 3.0-fold adjusted risk, respectively, p<0.05 for all). Here, CRP is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
