Impact of hsCRP on heart disease patients after PCI
Official title: The Prognosis of Patients After Coronary Intervention (PCI) : a Multi-center Prospective Study in China
Run by Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology · NCT05614050 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see if measuring a specific protein in the blood can help predict how well heart disease patients do after a procedure to open blocked arteries.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include hospitalized patients aged 18 to 80 with coronary heart disease who are undergoing PCI.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with acute or chronic infections, immune diseases, or those on specific long-term medications may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to investigate the role of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in predicting the prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who have undergone percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The study will recruit patients from 14 hospitals across China and will monitor changes in hsCRP levels over one year to assess their correlation with major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). By understanding the residual inflammation risk (RIR) associated with hsCRP, the study seeks to provide insights into improving patient outcomes post-PCI.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the management and treatment strategies for patients with CAD, potentially reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular events.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies in Western populations have shown a correlation between hsCRP levels and cardiovascular risk, but this specific approach in the Chinese population is novel.
