Heart Test Kits

Recent studies have clearly established that higher the CRP levels, the higher the risk of having a heart attack. Specifically it has been established that the risk for heart attack in people in the upper third of CRP levels is twice that of those in the lower third.

Many informed physicians are now recommending that their patients be tested for CRP as often as they have their cholesterol checked. However, the CRP test may be even more important to monitor than cholesterol as about half of all heart attacks and strokes occur in people whose cholesterol is normal.

C-reactive proteins are the major acute proteins produced by liver in response to tissue damage. Though not condition specific, they are a significant indicator of some current health problem. Many things can cause an increase in CRP (from osteoarthritis, to cancer, to the common cold or bacterial or vial infection), but in the absence of any specific disease, an increased CRP level poses a significant risk of heart disease.

As a matter of fact, CRP is the first indicator of heart disease recommended by the American Heart Association in over 20 years.

CRP is produced when the arteries around the heart become inflamed by atherosclerosis. Even in the absence of traditional blockages, inflamed artery walls can become softened and develop weak areas that can suddenly rupture. Plaque also develops more quickly in inflamed arteries, increasing the risks of heart attack or stroke.
