Figure 1 Translesional measurement of C-reactive protein (CRP). The distal CRP was higher than the proximal CRP in the groups with stable and unstable angina. Thus, a translesional CRP gradient was present. Both the proximal and distal CRP levels in unstable angina were higher than in stable angina. The translesional CRP in unstable angina was also greater than in stable angina.
