CRP and Hypertension: When entering age, hypertension, atrial fibrillation, bowel emptying, WBC, and CRP in a multivariable logistic regression model, atrial fibrillation (OR 4.6, 95% CI 2.1–10.0; p < 0.001), bowel emptying (OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.4–6.9; p = 0.007), and elevated WBC (OR 2.1 per one standard deviation increment, 95% CI 1.3–3.4; p = 0.002) remained as independent factors associated with embolic arterial occlusive AMI.
