Cardio-CRP -- This simple test can save your life!

Don’t get CRP confused with CPR, though both can save your life. CRP stands for “C-Reactive Protein”. Testing for it in the blood, using the new ultra-sensitive method, called Cardio-CRP, is the newest clue to an old killer. Almost all heart disease is caused inflammation, very low grade inflammation, occurring silently within the lining of the arteries. It’s the kind you can’t feel. It eventually weakens the “plaque”, the thickened fiborous repair material the body makes to cap and separate a vessel wall injury from the bloodstream. Unstable plaque is more likely to rupture and form a clot causing a heart attack or stroke. Inflammation also accelerates hardening of the arteries. It’s all part of uncontrolled immune system response. This is the real cause of most heart disease.

Detecting the presence of inflammation in coronary arteries is the first step in heart attack prevention, even more so than testing cholesterol. The next is to prescribe a safe treatment that can shut down the inflammation. [Click here for infornation]. Without inflammation being present, the CHD risk is less than someone with high cholesterol. There are many possible causes of inflammation. These include smoking, hypertension, elevated homocysteine, saturated fats, hydrogenated oils (trans fats), depression, virus, obesity, diabetes, gum disease, ... and more. Even if your cholesterol is normal and you have no other risks for heart disease -- have this test done!
