infarction and of one patient with coronary insufficiency and myocardial necrosis were
positive for CRP. 2. Sera of 6 patients with coronary insufficiency but without myocardial
necrosis were negative for CRP. 3. These preliminary observations suggest that the CRP
test may be a sensitive indicator of myocardial necrosis and inflammation.
