Hi,
High CRP is indicating possible inflammation anywhere in your body.
If the doctor suspects heart problems a complete cardiac check-up is highly recommended including:
- EKG.
- echocardiogram.
- Stress test plus a complete biochemistry panel and checking electrolytes in the blood.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
