About

The aim of this study was to assess the amount of additive value of HS-CRP levels to a positive exercise tolerance test (ETT) in predicting coronary artery disease (CAD) using coronary angiography as the gold standard. The investigators concluded that HS-CRP can be used as a single predictor of coronary vessel involvement in patients with stable angina and positive ETT.

Full description

the investigators included 97 patients with positive ETT and stable angina and saw that Hs-CRP is the only predictor of severity of CAD as compared with coronary angiography in stable angina patients.
