PLA2G7 and myocardial infarction: A NOMAS study [25] continuously detected changes in Lp-PLA2 levels before and after myocardial infarction and demonstrated that unlike the rising trend of hs-CRP, Lp-PLA2 levels gradually declined (5% per year) from an average of 233 ng/ml before infarction to an average of 153.9 ng/ml after the acute phase.
