Behavior of Ultrasensitive C-Reactive Protein in Myocardial Revascularization with and without Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Objective: To analyze the inflammation resulting from myocardial revascularization
techniques with and without cardiopulmonary bypass, based on ultrasensitive
C-reactive protein (US-CRP) behavior.Methods: A prospective non-randomized clinical study with 136 patients was performed.
Sixty-nine patients were enrolled for Group 1 (on-pump coronary artery
bypass - ONCAB) and 67 patients were assigned to Group 2 (off-pump coronary
artery bypass - OPCAB). All study participants had blood samples collected
for analysis of glucose, triglycerides, creatinine, total cholesterol,
high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (L ...
