High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Cardiac

Duration: 15mins

The high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) test measures the level of CRP, a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. In the context of cardiovascular health, elevated levels of CRP are used as a marker of systemic inflammation, which is linked to an increased risk of heart disease and atherosclerosis (plaque buildup in arteries).
