discussion-Heart attacks occur when a plaque becomes inflamed and bursts, sending blood clots and debris downstream to lodge in arteries supplying the heart. Standard diagnostic tests don't reveal these inflamed cholesterol deposits or plaques.

But many heart attacks are still unpredictable. Russert's is a textbook example.

A diabetic with heart disease like TIM RUSSERT most certainly had an abnormal CRP level

the study does not state that constant monitoring of crp is predictive-
