High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a measure of baseline concentrations and a marker of chronic inflammation. It predicts the risk of heart disease development in healthy persons, as well as the risk of myocardial infarction in patients with acute coronary syndromes. CRP, or C-reactive protein, is typically measured at levels between 3 and 5 mg/L, whereas hs-CRP can detect levels as low as about 0.3 mg/L. Because of its increased sensitivity, hs-CRP is utilised to identify minor chronic inflammation. The higher your hs-CRP levels, the higher your levels of inflammation.

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein produced by the liver when there is a condition/infection that triggers inflammation. Inflammation is a natural process in the body or can also be called as a body’s way of fighting infection. During this fighting process, inflammation occurs and sometimes inflammation can cause damage to the cells and tissues in the body. Sometimes heart tissues can be damaged in the process. A high-sensitivity CRP is usually used along with other cardiac risk marker tests like the Lp-PLA2 test also called as the PLAC test. These cardiac marker tests give us insights if there is inflammation in the blood vessels that supply to the heart.
