The highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test is an early detection method for people at risk for cardiovascular disease. In particular, the severity of acute myocardial infarction is strongly correlated with hsCRP levels.

To investigate the risk of cardiovascular diseases which are increasingly common today, the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein test is a valuable paraclinical test to assess the risk of inflammation in cardiovascular diseases, thereby providing the most appropriate treatment method.
