Blood Protein Cardio-CRP And Heart Attack Risk

Researchers found that high levels of a blood protein cardio-CRP (C-reactive protein), also called highly sensitive CRP (hs-CRP), may be the most significant risk factor for developing a heart attack. Women with the highest levels of cardio-CRP were 4.4 times more likely to experience a fatal or non-fatal heart attack, stroke or needing bypass surgery or angioplasty. Women with the highest levels of cardio-CRP and unfavorable cholesterol levels were almost nine times more likely to suffer likewise.
