Özet

Objective: Underlying predisposition for a heightened inflammatory response is postulated as one of the mechanisms for elevated high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). It is unclear whether metabolic syndrome (MetS) may cause a predisposition for heightened hs-CRP response in patients with ACS. The aim of this study is to investigate the interaction between hs-CRP levels and presence of MetS in patients with and without ACS.
