Need normal values for your lab in men like you. Do your own risk assessment by finding Heart Risk Calculator online and enter all of you info (especially BP & family Hx) & see what your projected risk of heart attack over next 10 years. Then discuss with your Drs what is the best thing to do. Probably good to have the low CRP if that is what you mean by inflammation marker.
