A member asked:
How does a c-reactive protein level relate to the risk of heart attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Predicts risk: There are 5 major risk factors for coronary artery disease: cholesterol, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and family history. The CRP could be considered a 6th risk factor. CRP is a reflection of inflammation within coronary plaque that may be asymptomatic. A CRP greater than 3 increases the risk of coronary artery disease.
