CRP is a component of the immune system used to fight infection and is therefore a marker of inflammation. A study published in the November 14, 2002 New England Journal of Medicine suggests that CRP is a stronger predictor of cardiovascular disease risk than LDL/bad cholesterol. This test is available via venipuncture or an onsite screening system.
The regular blood test package that VSA offers includes cholesterol testing with a full lipid profile, a chemistry panel, and a CBC with differential.
