The relationship between short-term complications in percutaneous coronary intervention and high sensitivity C - reactive protein level in patients undergoing myocardial infarction

Cardiovascular disease is one of the 10 leading causes of death in most regions of world. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the complications resulting from stent opration. No similar study has been conducted so far on high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) association with short-term complications of Precutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCR). This analytical-descriptive study was performed in Shahid Chamran Hospital of Isfahan، Iran. 87 patients with PCI underwent stent operation were selected according to simple sampling and short-term complications of PCI، were collected from hospitalized patients in need. Prior to short- term complications of PCI، hs-CRP test was conducted through taking patients، serum samples and hs-CRP levels were evaluated. Short-term complications of the disease were examined immediatelty after stent operation continuing for 24 hours post operatively and recorded in acheclist، and the data were analyzed by SPSS. In this study، 62 males and 25 females were selected. The mean age of patients was 56. 5 ±3. 1 years. 2 patients of patients under study had myocardial infarction، 3 patients coronary dissection، and one patient coronary perforation. The rate of complications in serum level of high hs-CRP >3mg/l increased more than the other group (P<0. 05). In the patients who are candidate for short-term complications of PCI، if the level of hs-CRP>10mg/l، more care is needed while conducting short-term complications of PCI in terms of pre-operative incidents after setting aside the possibility of inflammatory and infectious diseases.
