©2013 UpToDate ® Print Email Association between cholesterol, C-reactive protein, and risk of myocardial infarction Among healthy men, the relative risk of a first myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with the total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio and the level of C-reactive protein (CRP). The figures in the vertical bars are the values of relative risk for each stratum of cholesterol ratio and CRP. The baseline CRP level was predictive of risk for those with medium and high total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratios. Data from: Ridker PM, Glynn RJ, Hennekens CH, Circulation 1998; 97:2007.
