Abstract:
〈 p 〉 〈 strong 〉 Background: 〈 /strong 〉 Unstable angina constitutes a clinical syndrome that is usually caused by atherosclerotic coronary artery disease and is associated with an increased risk of cardiac death and myocardial infarction. 〈 /p 〉 〈 p 〉 〈 strong 〉 Material and Methods: 〈 /strong 〉 An open, prospective, observational, comparative study was conducted. The study included 50 cases in age group 20-80 years admitted in Government Medical College, Amritsar diagnosed as unstable angina ruled out by Trop T and CPK-MB at admission. Hs-CRP and Fibrinogen levels were estimated at time of admission and repeated after 48 hours. 〈 /p 〉 〈 p 〉 〈 strong 〉 Results: 〈 /strong 〉 There was significant difference in the mean value of Hs-CRP between favourable and unfavourable group at the time of admission (0.807±0.37mg/l v/s 3.57±1.70mg/l, p & lt;0.001). A significant difference in the mean value of Hs-CRP was found between favourable and unfavourable group after 48 hours (0.51±0.22mg/l v/s 4.03±1.84mg/l, p & lt;0.001) There was significant difference in the mean value of fibrinogen between favourable and unfavourable group at the time of admission (356.94±72.50mg/dl v/s 588.60±94.89mg/dl, p & lt;0.001). A significant difference in the mean value of fibrinogen was found between favourable and unfavourable group after 48 hours (309.11±75.25mg/dl v/s 622.60±133.42mg/dl, p & lt;0.001). 〈 /p 〉 〈 p 〉 〈 strong 〉 Conclusion: 〈 /strong 〉 It is concluded that in patients with unstable angina, elevated levels of Hs-CRP and Fibrinogen at admission indicate an adverse hospital outcome. 〈 /p 〉
