My mother recently underwent a full body checkup, and the cardiac risk markers test showed that her High Sensitivity C Reactive Protein (HS CRP) level is 14.83, whereas the normal level should be less than 3. Should she undergo any additional tests to check for possible cardiac issues?

An HS CRP level of 14.83 is high and indicates inflammation, which can be due to infection or increase cardiac risk. It is important to rule out any active infection first, as this can temporarily raise HS CRP levels. If no infection is found, a cardiac evaluation with ECG and echocardiogram may be considered. Continue a heart healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise as advised by your doctor. Follow up with your physician to decide further management. Consider checking CRP levels.
