Influence of aspirin on inflammatory markers in patients after acute myocardial infarction

[摘要] The aim of this study was to assess the influence of aspirin on selected inflammatory markers in patients recovering from acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Patients participating in the Warfarin Aspirin Re-lnfarction Study-II were randomized to either aspirin 160 mg/day or aspirin 75 mg/day + warfarin, or warfarin alone after AMI. After AMI, aspirin 160 mg/day was associated with significantly lower levels; of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and tumor necrois factor-alpha than warfarin alone over 4 years. However, the same levels were not predictors for clinical end points. (C) 2003 by Excerpta Medica, Inc.
