In the 3rd issue of "Intensiv-News" 2021, the most recent publications on CRP apheresis were summarized and evaluated with a focus on the recently published CAMI-1 study.

The author, Prof. Dr. Karl Werdan (University Hospital Halle (Saale); Chairman of the "Heart Failure Think Tank" of Novartis), explains the rationale of CRP apheresis in myocardial infarction and concisely describes the CAMI-1 study. He concludes that it has been clearly demonstrated that CRP is a pathological molecule and that the study provides good evidence that CRP apheresis reduces harm after myocardial infarction.
