In line with the results of our present study, strong relationships between higher baseline CRP levels and worse prognosis after index PCI have been reported, including in the incidence of all‐cause death as well as MI in a retrospective cohort of 7026 patients [45], and a composite primary endpoint of death, MI and stroke in a retrospective review of a prospective, randomized EXCEL trial involving 999 patients [66]. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and stroke disorder.
