Abstract High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a key inflammatory factor in atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. In Chinese patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), the changes in hs-CRP levels after a daily meal and the effect of statins on those were never explored. A total of 300 inpatients with CHD were included. Hs-CRP levels were measured in fasting and non-fasting state at 2 hour (h) and 4h after a daily breakfast. Group with fasting hs-CRP ≤ 3mg/L had significantly higher percentage of patients with statins using ≥ 1 month (m) than that with fasting hs-CRP > 3mg/L (51.4% vs. 23.9%, P < 0.05). Hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in non-fasting state (P < 0.05). Interestingly, the hs-CRP didn’t elevate significantly in inpatients with statins using ≥ 1m in hs-CRP > 3mg/L group, but it elevated significantly after meal in inpatients without and with statins using < 1m (P < 0.05). About 32% of patients with non-fasting hs-CRP > 3mg/L came from those with fasting hs-CRP ≤ 3mg/L. In conclusion, hs-CRP levels increased significantly in CHD patients after a daily meal. When fasting hs-CRP > 3mg/L but not ≤ 3mg/L, statins work partly in reducing hs-CRP elevation in non-fasting state.
