CRP and myocardial infarction: Our study suggests that although lifestyle measures (e.g., supervised in-hospital training) may positively impact LDL-C reduction, in closely monitored post-MI patients followed in a CRP, most of the suboptimal response to LLT can be attributed to factors such as male sex, higher lipoprotein (a) levels, lower baseline LDL-C levels, and the absence of diabetes mellitus.
