Yesterday my mother got full body checkup and in that cardiac risk markers test "High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (HS-CRP) is 14.83 whereas normal level is less than 3. Should she get any more tests to check any cardiac issue?

Its false positive because of many reasons, not always cardiac. If no cardiac symptoms then dont worry.
