The High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (Hs-CRP) test measures very low levels of CRP, a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Typically, CRP levels are low, but they rise notably during inflammation. While inflammation is a natural response to injury, infection, or disease, chronic inflammation can damage healthy tissues and lead to severe conditions. The Hs-CRP test helps estimate the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular events, thereby identifying individuals at higher risk of heart attack, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, and sudden cardiac death, even if they have no prior history of cardiovascular issues. It also offers additional prognostic value beyond standard cholesterol levels and other risk factors, making it an important tool for cardiovascular risk evaluation and treatment guidance.

If you're in Noida and want to assess your heart health due to a demanding lifestyle, consider scheduling an Hs-CRP test. This test will aid in evaluating your cardiovascular risk by measuring inflammation levels that may suggest underlying health problems.
