Abstract
Patients undergoing coronary angiography for ACS or stable CAD presented with a similar extent of angiographic CAD, although patients with ACS had a higher prevalence of significant lesions in the presence of a better cardiovascular risk profile and higher inflammation levels. The extent of angiographic CAD in both the groups shared common determinants such as hsCRP, age, and hyperglycemia, but these appeared to explain only a small part of the variation of coronary atherosclerosis.
