C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein with a well-known association with infection and other inflammatory conditions. Mild elevations in C-reactive protein concentration predict myocardial infarction, stroke, and vascular death in a variety of clinical settings. Despite the lack of specific evidence that C-reactive protein levels are independently associated with cardiovascular risk in patients with hypertension, the prognostic value of C-reactive protein has proven to be complementary to that of blood pressure values.
