So, CRP has emerged as another test, another "risk factor," that some advocate adding to conventional cholesterol values to yield a clearer glimpse into the future.

But those of us following the Track Your Plaque program already know that it's not risk factors we're looking for. We already know what heart attack risk is based on our CT heart scan scores, a reliable measure of the disease itself, coronary atherosclerosis. Why add another risk measure?

It is much easier to obtain for someone who does not have is not clearly at high risk for heart disease. Hell, it is not easy to get heart scan for someone who does have heart disease.
