Cardiac CRP Blood Test
Low-Cost High-Sensitivity CRP Test for Heart Inflammation Risk Screening
The Cardiac CRP Blood Test, also called a high-sensitivity C-reactive protein test or hs-CRP test, measures low levels of C-reactive protein in the blood.
CRP is a protein made by the liver when inflammation is present in the body.
A high-sensitivity CRP test can detect smaller changes in CRP and may be used as part of a provider-directed cardiovascular risk review.
✔ Measures high-sensitivity C-reactive protein hs-CRP
✔ May help evaluate inflammation related to heart and blood vessel risk
✔ Useful with cholesterol and other cardiovascular risk markers
✔ Low-cost lab testing option
✔ Doctor's order included
✔ No insurance required
✔ Convenient online ordering
⏱ Typical turnaround: results are usually emailed in 1–3 days.
What Is Cardiac CRP?
Cardiac CRP usually refers to high-sensitivity CRP testing used for cardiovascular risk assessment.
Unlike a standard CRP test, an hs-CRP test can detect very small elevations in CRP that may be useful when reviewing heart and blood vessel risk.
hs-CRP is not specific to the heart. It reflects inflammation in the body and must be interpreted with medical history, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, diabetes status, smoking history and other risk factors.
What This Test Measures
This blood test measures high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in the blood.
- Test name: Cardiac CRP Blood Test
- Also known as: hs-CRP Test, High-Sensitivity CRP Test, C-Reactive Protein Cardiac Risk Test
- Sample type: Blood
- Purpose: Measures low-level inflammation marker used in cardiovascular risk review
- Common use: Provider-directed heart health and inflammation risk screening
Why Order a Cardiac CRP Test?
A Cardiac CRP test may be ordered when a person or healthcare provider wants more information about inflammation as part of a heart health risk review.
This test may be considered for:
- Provider-directed cardiovascular risk review
- Heart health screening with cholesterol testing
- Family history of heart disease or stroke
- Metabolic health concerns
- Inflammation-related risk assessment
- Follow-up to prior elevated hs-CRP results
- Customers who want low-cost direct access to lab testing without insurance
Low-Cost Heart Health Screening Option
This Cardiac CRP test is a simple and affordable way to check a heart health-related inflammation marker.
Many customers order hs-CRP along with a lipid panel, A1C, glucose or other wellness labs for a broader cardiovascular risk review.
This test may be a cost-saving option for customers who want direct lab access without insurance billing.
Who May Consider This Test?
- People whose healthcare provider requested hs-CRP testing
- People reviewing cardiovascular risk factors
- People with family history of heart disease or stroke
- People with cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes or metabolic health concerns
- People monitoring inflammation-related heart risk with a provider
- Customers who want low-cost testing without insurance billing
Common Reasons for Testing
- Heart health screening
- Family history of cardiovascular disease
- High cholesterol or abnormal lipid panel follow-up
- Metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance concerns
- Diabetes or prediabetes risk review
- Provider-directed inflammation risk assessment
- Follow-up to a previous elevated hs-CRP result
How hs-CRP Results Are Commonly Viewed
hs-CRP results are commonly reviewed as part of relative cardiovascular risk, not as a diagnosis.
- Less than 1.0 mg/L: Lower relative cardiovascular risk
- 1.0 to 3.0 mg/L: Average relative cardiovascular risk
- Greater than 3.0 mg/L: Higher relative cardiovascular risk
Results above 10 mg/L may suggest infection, injury or another active inflammatory condition and may need repeat testing or medical evaluation.
Important: CRP Can Rise for Many Reasons
CRP is a general inflammation marker and is not specific to heart disease.
Recent infection, injury, surgery, dental problems, autoimmune disease, intense exercise, obesity, smoking, chronic inflammation and many other conditions may affect CRP levels.
If you are sick, recently injured or recovering from an infection, your result may not reflect your usual baseline level.
Cardiac CRP and Cholesterol Testing
hs-CRP may be most useful when reviewed with cholesterol and other cardiovascular risk factors.
A lipid panel measures cholesterol and triglycerides, while hs-CRP measures low-level inflammation.
Together, these results may help support a more complete provider-directed heart health discussion.
Important Health Warning
If you have chest pain, shortness of breath, one-sided weakness, sudden numbness, severe headache, confusion, fainting, symptoms of a heart attack or stroke, or any urgent medical concern, seek emergency medical care immediately.
Do not use this test as a substitute for urgent medical evaluation, diagnosis or treatment.
Screening and Lab Access Only
LabReqs and SchoolTiters provide access to lab testing. We do not diagnose heart disease, infection, autoimmune disease, inflammation disorders or any medical condition.
This test may provide useful lab information, but results should be reviewed with a licensed healthcare provider, especially if results are elevated, symptoms are present or treatment decisions are being considered.
Important Limitations
- This test measures high-sensitivity CRP only.
- This test does not include cholesterol, A1C, glucose, ApoB, Lipoprotein(a), standard CRP or other heart risk markers unless ordered separately.
- hs-CRP does not diagnose heart disease by itself.
- hs-CRP does not identify the exact source of inflammation.
- Infection, injury, autoimmune conditions, obesity, smoking and other factors may affect results.
- Elevated results may require repeat testing or additional medical evaluation.
- Do not start, stop or change medication based only on this result.
Before Ordering
- Confirm that you need a Cardiac CRP or hs-CRP test.
- If you are currently sick, injured or recovering from an infection, ask your provider whether you should wait before testing.
- If you need a broader heart health review, consider ordering a lipid panel, A1C, glucose or other provider-directed tests.
- Tell your provider about infections, inflammatory conditions, medications, smoking history and cardiovascular risk factors.
- If your result is elevated, review it with a licensed healthcare provider.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Cardiac CRP Blood Test measure?
This test measures high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, also called hs-CRP, in the blood.
Is Cardiac CRP the same as hs-CRP?
Yes. Cardiac CRP usually refers to high-sensitivity CRP testing used as part of cardiovascular risk assessment.
Can this test diagnose heart disease?
No. hs-CRP does not diagnose heart disease by itself. It should be reviewed with cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes status, smoking history and other risk factors.
Can CRP be high from infection?
Yes. CRP can rise from infection, injury, inflammation, surgery and many non-cardiac causes.
Should I order a lipid panel too?
Many heart health evaluations include a lipid panel because cholesterol and triglyceride levels are important cardiovascular risk markers.
What if my hs-CRP is over 10?
Results over 10 mg/L may suggest active infection or inflammation and may need repeat testing or medical evaluation.
Do I need to fast?
Fasting is usually not required for hs-CRP alone, but may be required if you are ordering other tests such as a lipid panel.
Is a doctor's order included?
Yes. A doctor's order is included with this lab test.
