The High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein blood test is a predictor of future heart attack and stroke,
I kept at it and in another 6 weeks, it was down to 1.79, so it was under the threshold danger level. I was made aware of a risk of a big potential problem with this test and it was in time to do something about it. A previous test of C-Reactive Protein was not high, but the “High Sensitivity” or “HS” C-Reactive Protein Test is a much better measure of inflamation in the artery and coronary vessel walls.

Thank goodness for the ladies in the church’s prayer group that started praying for me when I learned I had a problem from a EBT Heart Scan, which resulted in getting the blood test and finding the information to get it under control.
