In plain English

A blood test that measures inflammation (called HS-CRP) might tell doctors more about a patient's heart health risk than the standard cholesterol tests they normally use.

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP) is a better predictor for cardiovascular health than traditional cholesterol markers.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: Association between traditional cholesterol parameters, lipoprotein particle concentration, novel biomarkers and carotid plaques in retired National Football League players.

    The study compared hs-CRP to traditional cholesterol markers for predicting heart disease. It found that hs-CRP did NOT predict carotid plaques (a sign of heart disease), while traditional cholesterol markers like LDL-C and LDL-P DID predict them. This means the claim that hs-CRP is better than traditional markers is proven wrong by this study.
