It couldn't hurt. Or whatever your consulting cardiologist feels will tell him/her, and you, what type of inflammation there is...if any. Maybe another test or diagnostic will tell the tale, and you can modify your overt behaviors accordingly. Just a suggestion...but something to run past your cardiologist in case it's something you can do yourself, but not have to give up exercising if it turns out to be due to some other cause.

ask for the high sensitivity (sometimes called cardiac) CRP test. It's more sensitive at lower numbers and ideally, you should have an inflammation number of 1.0 or below. Mine is 0.3 but hasn't stopped me from having a calcium scan putting me in the 75% percentile. My understanding is that every molecule of Apo B carries one molecule of LDL that can attach to the artery walls, so having that test, as mentioned here, is another helpful tool to understand your risk profile.

I was recommended to be on a mostly plant-based diet, still exercising around 6 days/week for 30-40 minutes and I look to get my heart rate in the 150's each time, and with the 3 drug regimen, it seems to be working for me (statin, ezitimibe, Repatha), having all the major levels down in normal ranges, probably for the first time in my life.
