This study was aimed at establishing the relation between baseline C-reactive protein levels and 12-month outcome in patients with unstable angina successfully treated with coronary artery stent implantation. Our results suggest that in patients with unstable angina and 1-vessel coronary disease successfully treated with coronary artery stent implantation, normal baseline serum levels of C-reactive protein identify a subgroup of patients at low risk of cardiac events during follow-up.

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.
