Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the systemic markers of inflammation. Among young and older women, Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is one of the leading causes of death. Out of every 3 American women, one dies due to IHD. For the psychological support, little attention is thus paid to psychological support of patients. Myocardial infarction (MI) and acute angina pectoris remarkably affect quality of life of patients and their families and depict a major crisis in their life. Hence; we planned the present study to assess the relationship of CRP in patients with ischemic heart disease. Materials & Methods: The present study included assessment of all the patients who reported with the chief complaint of sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, sudden confusion and seizures, trouble speaking or understanding speech, sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes, sudden trouble walking, loss of balance or coordination, sudden severe headache without any known cause. In all the patients, there was evidence of ischemic stroke which was diagnosed on imaging of brain i.e. CT scan, MRI. Venous blood sample with a disposable syringe was taken for the assessment of the levels of CRP and was sent to the laboratory for assessment. All the results were analyzed by SPSS software. Results: Among males, 65.2 percent of the subjects had raised value of CRP while 34.8 percent of the male subjects had normal values of CRP. Among females, 49.4 percent of the subjects had raised values of CRP while among remaining females, CRP values were normal. Significant results were obtained while comparing the CRP values between males and distribution. Significant results were obtained wile comparing CRP values with various scores of MRR. Conclusion: Significant association of the raised values of CRP does exist with the severity of ischemic stroke.
