CRP (C-Reactive Protein)
|
|
|
The CRP test measures levels of inflammation in your body and is a powerful indicator of heart attack risk.
Recent studies have clearly established that higher the CRP levels, the higher the risk of having a heart attack. Specifically it has been established that the risk for heart attack in people in the upper third of CRP levels is twice that of those in the lower third.
The New York Times recently wrote “That factor is C-reactive protein, or CRP, a blood-borne marker of inflammation that, along with coagulation factors, is now increasingly recognized as the driving force behind clots that block blood flow to the heart. Yet patients are rarely tested for CRP, even if they already have heart problems.”
Many informed physicians are now recommending that their patients be tested for CRP as often as they have their cholesterol checked. However, the CRP test may be even more important to monitor than cholesterol as about half of all heart attacks and strokes occur in people whose cholesterol is normal.
