<h4>Background</h4>In a group of patients admitted for unstable angina, we investigated whether C-reactive protein (CRP) plasma levels remain elevated at discharge and whether persistent elevation is associated with recurrence of instability.<h4>Methods and results</h4>We measured plasma levels of C...
