Background: Although some reports have indicated that acute phase proteins such as C-
reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) can predict the prognosis in patients with
acute coronary syndrome, the value of these markers in patients with stable coronary artery
disease (CAD) still remains obscure. Therefore, our aim was to determine the prognostic
value of inflammatory markers in patients with stable coronary artery disease. Methods and
results: We conducted a prospective cohort study in 140 consecutive patients with stable …
