Popis:	Assessment of markers of systemic inflammation, such as acute-phase reactants C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen and ceruloplasmin, sialic acid, a major component of these proteins and neopterin, a specific marker of cellular immune activation, in clinically stable coronary artery disease, may contribute to Staging and risk stratification. These markers were measured in 225 consecutive stable coronary artery disease patients before undergoing coronary angiography. According to their angiographic scores 32 patients were designated as having minor, 34 moderate and 96 severe coronary artery disease. 63 patients with negative angiograms were taken as the angiographic controls. High sensitive-CRP (hs-CRP) and fibrinogen were found to be higher in patients with angiographically established coronary artery disease, than in angiographic controls (p
