Predictive Value of C-Reactive Protein and Left Ventricular Diastolic Filling Pattern after a Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction

CRP has limited value in predicting future cardiovascular events in subjects with NSTEMI. Other biomarkers or a combination of other biomarkers may be needed to identify patients at high risk. Evaluation of diastolic left ventricular function not during the acute phase but 6 months later could predict adverse outcome in our series.
