Normal Levels, Heart Risk
Normal cholesterol does not guarantee that the arteries are free from risk. Low-grade inflammation, along with factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and smoking, may continue to increase the risk of heart disease. A high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) test may help assess risk. A level of 2 mg/L or higher on two measurements may strengthen the assessment of cardiovascular risk, but it does not diagnose atherosclerosis or identify the cause of inflammation. If the level is above 10 mg/L, a doctor may recommend repeating the test in about two to three weeks. Prevention involves assessing risk factors together, managing blood pressure, diabetes, and blood lipids, avoiding smoking, and following a healthy lifestyle. The doctor determines whether treatment is needed based on the individual’s overall situation—not the test result alone.
