Abstract:
:In this study we assessed whether total cholesterol content of erythrocyte membranes (CEM) was associated with the presence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). Consecutive angina patients were assessed; 98 had ACS and 45 had stable angina pectoris (SAP). CEM in the ACS group was significantly higher compared with the SAP group (p< 0.05). Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed a significant independent relation between CEM and the presence of ACS (OR 24.990, p<0.001). CEM was positively correlated with serum hs-CRP levels (r=0.328, p<0.001). These findings suggest a potential role of CEM as a marker of vulnerable plaque.
