Your cholesterol report looks perfect… so why are heart attacks still happening
Most people focus only on cholesterol when thinking about heart health, but there are other silent markers that matter just as much.
Two important ones are CRP (C-reactive protein), which signals inflammation in the body, and homocysteine, an amino acid linked to blood vessel damage.
Elevated levels of either can quietly increase your risk of heart disease and stroke, even if your cholesterol looks normal.
Keeping an eye on these markers gives a more complete picture of your cardiovascular health. Prevention starts with awareness—don’t overlook what your blood is trying to tell you.
