The CRP is indicative of systemic inflammation.
It is correlated with long term risk of developing atherosclerosis which is largely due to inflammation and
not just cholesterol levels. Depending on your age there
are other tests to evaluate your risk. CT for coronary
artery calcification and carotid ultrasound are more
specific for arterial involvement with plaque or calcium
score. If you haven’t seen a cardiologist they are more
attuned to risk assessment.
