What role does CRP play in cardiovascular risk?

CRP, particularly high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP), plays a crucial role in assessing cardiovascular risk. Elevated hs-CRP levels indicate inflammation in the blood vessels, contributing to atherosclerosis and increasing the likelihood of heart attacks or strokes. Combined with cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and other risk factors, hs-CRP helps doctors predict cardiovascular events and develop prevention strategies. Lifestyle changes and medications can lower hs-CRP and reduce cardiovascular risk.
