Our findings indicate that CRP provides useful information for the prediction of risk of post-STEMI LVSD and HF hospitalization, which enhances the overall prognostic value of already well-known risk factors (e.g., elevated BNP concentration, which is related to adverse clinical outcomes including reduced LVEF and increased rate of hospitalization for HF) [7,19,50,51]. The gene discussed is NPPB; the disease is hydrops fetalis.
