CRP is a marker of inflammation and is not specific to heart. It can be raised in many conditions like recent infection, recent vaccination, chronic inflammatory diseases etc. Persistently high crp is a risk factor for future heart disease just like high BP or diabetes. It does not indicate present heart disease
