Can CRP levels predict heart disease?

Yes, high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) levels are a valuable predictor of heart disease risk. Elevated hs-CRP levels (above 3 mg/L) indicate inflammation in the blood vessels, which contributes to atherosclerosis—a leading cause of heart attacks and strokes. Combined with other tests like lipid profiles and blood pressure measurements, hs-CRP provides a comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular risk. While CRP alone does not diagnose heart disease, it is a helpful marker for identifying individuals who may benefit from preventive strategies like lifestyle changes, medications, or further testing.
