How Is C-Reactive Protein Related to Heart Disease

Inflammation results when excess bad cholesterol (LDL), makes its way into the bloodstream through the arterial wall.

During this process, C-reactive protein is released. This discovery has led to a change in protocols related to heart disease screening and testing. The 2002 study found women with elevated C-reactive protein levels were more than twice as likely to suffer a heart attack as women with low levels.
