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.
