Effect of Aspirin on C- Reactive Protein as a Marker of Risk in Unstable Angina
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
Angina, is the term used for chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. Angina is typically described as squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness or pain in chest. Aspirin, also known as acetyl salicylic acid (ASA) is a medication used to treat pain, fever and inflammation. Aspirin is also used long term to help prevent heart attacks, strokes and blood clots in people at high risk. Elevated levels of C- reactive protein, a marker for systemic inflammation, have been found among individuals with stable and unstable angina. Elevated circulating levels of C- reactive protein, an inflammatory marker, increase the risk of thrombotic cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction.
