The CRP blood test appears to be as powerful as cholesterol measurements
in estimating a person's risk of having a heart attack or stroke, according

The test measures levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) which produced
by the body as part of the process of inflammation. Elevated concentrations
of CRP appear to identify individuals at increased risk of cardiovascular disease
even when their cholesterol levels are normal.
