CRP and myocardial ischemia: Patients with IHD, as would be expected, more often developed PMI (58.6% vs. 37.7%, p < 0.001), AMI (11.7% vs. 4.8%, p < 0.001), a high inflammatory response (CRP > 100 mg/L in 84.2% vs. 79.7%, p = 0.037) and had a prolonged hospital stay (LOS > 20 days in 25.8% vs. 20.4%, p = 0.024) compared with the non-IHD persons.
