A member asked:

What is the risk of a fatal heart attack with a c reactive protein level of 87?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thats really high..: Low, intermediate, and high risk CRP values were defined as 3 mg/l. A value above 10 mg/l should be repeated after an interval of at least two weeks and you should be evaluated for infection or inflammation. Plz talk to your primary care provider.
