The American College of Cardiology recently recommended a blood test to help with assessing heart health. Tu Le, M.D., a cardiologist on the medical staff at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Hurst-Euless-Bedford, said the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) test is a marker for inflammation, and the higher the protein levels, the higher the risk for cardiovascular disease.
Le, who spoke recently with Sam Baker on KERA, added that the protein is released by the liver when the body has any type of inflammation.
