59 woman found to have a cardiac crp greater than 25.0. test repeated, came back same. normal lipids, on crestor (rosuvastatin) 40. no rheumatologic signs/sx. help?

CRP is non specific: Not a very good test and probably not important as it is a non specific marker for inflammation. Do not panic. Caveat: CRP higher than 10 has a loose association with colon cancer. Discuss with your dr.
