Diagnostic value of carotid artery ultrasound and hypersensitive C-reactive protein in Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with acute myocardial infarction in Chinese population

Medicine (Baltimore). 2018 Oct;97(41):e12334. doi: 10.1097/MD.0000000000012334.

Abstract

Hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is reported to be significant risk indicators not only for the development of cardiovascular disease, but also for the development or progression of type 2 diabetes. The objective of this study was to analyze the significance of hs-CRP in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) combined with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Fifty patients with both T2DM and AMI, 50 patients with T2DM alone, and 50 healthy subjects (control group) were selected.Operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed that the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and critical value in the diagnosis of T2DM combined with AMI using hs-CRP level were 84.6%, 75.9%, 0.856, and 7.34 mg/L, respectively. For using vulnerable plaque rate, these were 92.7%, 95.3%, 0.923, and 0.52, respectively.hs-CRP play a significant role in the early diagnosis of T2DM combined with AMI.
