We performed a meta-analysis of 17 publications involving 3010 patients and 2968 controls for hs-CRP and 14 publications involving 3026 patients and 2968 controls analyzing the anti-inflammatory effects of statins by decreasing CRP and hs-CRP levels in different CVDs, including ACS, MI, CAD, unstable angina, heart failure, stable atherosclerotic plaques, and carotid artery stenting. Here, CRP is linked to angina pectoris.
