Summary: Abstract: Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) has remained a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the modern world and a substantial portion of this burden falls on developing countries. Recent epidemiological and clinical studies have investigated on the strong and consistent relationships between markers of inflammation and risk of cardiovascular events. This paper analyzed the relationship between the inflammatory marker C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels and the risk of developing ACS both Non Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) and ST elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). Baseline CRP determination was done on admitted Acute Coronary Disease patients in FEU-NRMF Medical Center from June 2010 to June 2020. Results shows that majority of the patients have high level of serum C-reactive protein as tested in the laboratory. The statistical significance test has shown that patients with high level of C-reactive protein have the large possibility of developing Acute Coronary Syndrome. Serum CRP levels are elevated in patients with NSTEMI ACS and may contribute to the inflammation associated with acute coronary syndrome. The high-C-reactive protein is a modest but independent predictive factor of the development of Acute Coronary Syndrome.
