CRP may improve the predictive value of other markers used to determine cardiovascular and peripheral vascular disease risk. CRP levels rise for no apparent reason. CRP is a marker for a variety of diseases and should be assessed in conjunction with a full clinical history. The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test detects reduced C-reactive protein levels in the blood (CRP). This protein is used to determine the overall degree of inflammation in your body. The hs-CRP can be used to determine whether or not someone is at risk for heart disease or stroke.

Biomarkers
- hs-CRP: This protein measures general levels of inflammation in your body. The hs-CRP can be used to find the risk for heart disease and stroke in people who don’t already have heart disease.
- Vitamin D: Vitamin D is produced in the skin upon absorption of sunlight. Low levels of Vitamin D are associated with a high inflammatory response in the body. Vitamin D is associated with a healthy immune system and bone health. Vitamin D deficiency is curable by spending more time in the sun, consuming foods rich in Vitamin D, or through supplementation.
