Heart Attack - C-Reactive Cardiac Protein

There is evidence that inflammation is an important part of the atherosclerosis process:

C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the acute phase proteins that increase during systemic inflammation. It’s been suggested that testing CRP levels in the blood may be an additional way to assess cardiovascular disease risk. A more sensitive CRP test, called a highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) assay, is available to determine heart disease risk.

My husband is a cardiac patient, and fortunately his CRP level is normal.
