The predictive role of early CRP values for one-year mortality in the first 2 d after acute myocardial infarction.

Background: An excessive inflammatory reaction after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is known to be harmful. New anti-inflammatory therapies are required.

Purpose: This study assessed the predictive role of early CRP in patients with STEMI.

Frailty is associated with chronic inflammation and pro-inflammatory monocyte subpopulations.

Aim Of The Study: Frail patients with high grade aortic valve stenosis (AS) undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) have an increased mortality. A connection between frailty and inflammation has been suggested. Monocyte subpopulations are associated with both cardiovascular diseases and chronic inflammatory diseases.
