TL;DR
Similar to CRP, baseline elevation of SAA identifies patients hospitalized with unstable angina and NQMI at higher risk for early mortality, even among those with a negative rapid assay for cTnT.
Abstract
Similar to CRP, baseline elevation of SAA identifies patients hospitalized with unstable angina and NQMI at higher risk for early mortality, even among those with a negative rapid assay for cTnT. These data support further investigation of inflammatory markers used alone and in combination with cardiac troponins for risk assessment in unstable coronary syndromes.

Evidence of inflammation after MI is associated with increased risk of recurrent coronary events, and therapy with pravastatin may decrease this risk, an observation consistent with a nonlipid effect of this agent.

Elevation of acute-phase reactants in unstable angina could represent a hallmark of subclinical persistent instability or of susceptibility to recurrent instability and, in some patients, could be related to chronic Chlamydia pneumoniae infection.

Increased levels of both fibrinogen and C-reactive protein are associated with a worse outcome in patients with unstable coronary artery disease and is independent of, and additive to, the prognostic influence of myocardial damage.

The expression of SAA mRNA in human atherosclerotic lesions and the induction of acute‐phase SAA by oxidized low‐density lipoproteins strengthen the hypothesis that SAA might play a role in vascular injury and atherogenesis.

A specific activation-independent action of CRP and CRP peptides 174-185 and 201-206 on expression of L-selectin is indicated, and it is suggested that by attenuating neutrophil adhesion to the endothelium and consequently neutrophils traffic into tissues, native CRp and peptides may be major mechanisms to attenuate or limit the inflammatory response.
