Cross sectional association of hs-CRP with general health status 30 days after AMI (hs-CRP ≥2.0 mg/dL compared with <2 mg/dL).
Data shown as change in the health status measures and 95% confidence interval. Full model is adjusted for age, gender, race, body mass index, socioeconomic status, prior smoking and alcohol use, history of AMI, peripheral arterial disease, percutaneous coronary intervention, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and lung disease, use of lipid lowering medications at discharge, and baseline health status
