Cardiovascular Inflammation – hsCRP Test
Detect Hidden Inflammation That Could Be Affecting Your Heart
Inflammation in the cardiovascular system is one of the most important — and often overlooked — early warning signs of heart disease. The Cardiovascular Inflammation – hsCRP Test is a simple at-home blood test that measures high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), a biomarker strongly linked to inflammation in the arteries and an increased risk of heart attack or stroke.
This test offers powerful insight into your heart health, even if you have no obvious symptoms. It's ideal for those with a family history of heart disease or individuals wanting to take a more proactive approach to long-term cardiovascular wellness.
What You'll Discover
This test measures high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) — a highly accurate marker of low-grade systemic inflammation. Unlike standard CRP tests used in infection monitoring, hsCRP is sensitive enough to detect subtle, chronic inflammation associated with cardiovascular risk.
Elevated hsCRP levels may indicate underlying inflammation in the arteries, which can contribute to plaque buildup, narrowed blood vessels, and an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other circulatory conditions. Even in otherwise healthy individuals, a high hsCRP result can serve as an early warning and an opportunity to act before more serious issues develop.
Why Take This Test?
Cardiovascular inflammation often occurs silently — with no warning signs — until it leads to a major event like a heart attack or stroke. Testing your hsCRP level can help you better understand your personal risk and take steps to reduce inflammation through lifestyle changes, stress reduction, targeted supplementation, or further diagnostic testing.
This test is ideal for individuals with known risk factors such as high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, smoking history, poor diet, or metabolic issues. It’s also a valuable follow-up tool for those already taking steps to improve heart health and wanting to track progress over time.
