Abstract
While elevated hs-CRP 30 days after AMI was associated with worse health status in unadjusted analyses, this was not significant after adjusting for comorbidities, suggesting that hs-CRP may be a marker of comorbidities associated with worse health status. Whether reducing inflammation in AMI patients will improve health status should be tested in ongoing trials.
