NPPB and heart disorder: Furthermore, we speculated that the plasma levels of mCRP might be related to the patient’s heart disease, and hence, the correlation between mCRP and BNP, EF%, LVEDV, LVESV, LVMI, and Gensini score of STEMI complications was analyzed (r = 0.349, P = 0.034, Fig. 4a; r = − 0.362, P = 0.027, Fig. 4b; r = 0.375, P = 0.022, Fig. 4c, r = 0.334, P = 0.043, Fig. 4d; r = 0.736, P < 0.001, Fig. 4e; r = 0.997, P = 0.023, Fig. 4f, respectively), while CRP was not correlated (Table 3).
