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 (July 2001) DOI: /S (00)

2 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  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

3 Fig. 2 Correlations between fibrinogen levels on admission and markers of myocardial infarct size. LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; Tl, thallium. Atherosclerosis  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

4 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  , DOI: ( /S (00) )

5 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  , DOI: ( /S (00) )
