Volume 157, Issue 1, Pages 189-196 (July 2001) Fibrinogen and C-reactive protein on admission as markers of final infarct size after primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction Johan De Sutter, Marc De Buyzere, Peter Gheeraert, Christophe Van de Wiele, Joeri Voet, Michel De Pauw, Rudi Dierckx, Guy De Backer, Yves Taeymans Atherosclerosis Volume 157, Issue 1, Pages 189-196 (July 2001) DOI: 10.1016/S0021-9150(00)00703-6
Fig. 1 Fibrinogen and CRP levels on admission according to the extent of coronary artery disease as determined on the coronary angiography during the acute phase of the myocardial infarction. No significant differences in fibrinogen or CRP levels were found. VD, vessel disease. Atherosclerosis 2001 157, 189-196DOI: (10.1016/S0021-9150(00)00703-6)
Fig. 2 Correlations between fibrinogen levels on admission and markers of myocardial infarct size. LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; Tl, thallium. Atherosclerosis 2001 157, 189-196DOI: (10.1016/S0021-9150(00)00703-6)
Fig. 3 Scatterplots of CRP levels on admission and markers of myocardial infarct size. No significant correlations were found. LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; Tl, thallium. Atherosclerosis 2001 157, 189-196DOI: (10.1016/S0021-9150(00)00703-6)
Fig. 4 VO2max in patients with low (n=17) and high (n=17) fibrinogen levels and low (n=17) and high (n=17) CRP levels on admission. Patients with low fibrinogen levels had significantly higher VO2max compared to patients with high fibrinogen levels. Atherosclerosis 2001 157, 189-196DOI: (10.1016/S0021-9150(00)00703-6)
