Hs-crp level of 4.2...could this be autoimmune thyroid related? definitive high risk for cardiac problems? thanks!

Non specific: CRP indicates systemic inflammatory state that can include any organ in the body including the thyroid and the heart.As such it has a high sensitivity but low specificity including risk for heart disease
