Value of C-Reactive Protein in Predicting Left Ventricular Remodelling in Patients with a First ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Table 5

Impact of demographic, clinical, angiographic, and biochemical variables from Tables 1, 2, and 3 on an increase in end-diastolic left ventricular volume between hospital discharge and 6-month followup.

Model characteristics: 𝑅=0.38; 𝑅^2=0.13; 𝑃<0.00001
	Beta coefficient	Beta coefficient standard error	Direction component beta	Direction component beta standard error	𝑃
Intercept			28.94	4.75	<0.0001
CRP 24 h after admission (for a 10 mg/L increase)	0.21	0.07	2.08	0.72	<0.005
LVEDV at discharge (for a 1 mL increase)	−0.32	0.07	−0.22	0.05	<0.0001
BNP at discharge (for a 100 pg/mL increase)	0.25	0.07	1.64	0.48	<0.0008

BNP: B-type natriuretic peptide; CRP: C-reactive protein; LVEDV: end-diastolic left ventricular volume.
