CRP (C-reactive protein) is a marker of inflammation in your body. High levels may silently increase your risk of heart disease.
Elevated CRP levels are linked to clogged arteries and heart problems. Even without symptoms, your heart could be at risk.
Infections, obesity, smoking, stress, and chronic conditions can raise CRP levels and impact your overall heart health.
If you feel fatigue, have a family history of heart disease, or unhealthy habits, a CRP test can help detect early risk.
Regular testing, a healthy diet, exercise, and stress control can help manage CRP levels and protect your heart.
