An excessive inflammatory reaction after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is known to be harmful. New anti-inflammatory therapies are required. This study assessed the predictive role of early CRP in patients with STEMI. A total of 1003 patients with STEMI were analysed. A total of 180 patients with proven infection were excluded. CRP after 12, 24 and 48 h after pain onset were evaluated. Of 823 patients, 103 (12.5%) died within one year after AMI. The deceased patients showed higher CRP, even after already 12 h (6  vs.  13 mg/l,  p  &lt; .001), 24 h (13  vs.  25 mg/l,  p  &lt; .001) and after 48 h (40  vs.  92 mg/l,  p  &lt; .001). A CRP of ≥8 mg/l, 12 h after AMI, was found in 45% and was independently associated with long-term mortality (OR: 2.7,  p  = .03), after 24 h: CRP ≥ 18 mg/l in 44% (OR: 2.5,  p  = .03), after 48 h: CRP ≥ 53 mg/l in 44% (OR 1.9,  p  = .03). Early CRP values correlated strongly with the later maximum value of CRP ( p  &lt; .001). Already early CRP values are accurate for risk-prediction following AMI. By identifying patients who are beginning to develop an excessive inflammatory response, it may be possible to identify those who benefit from anti-inflammatory therapies.
