CRP and coronary artery disorder: Updated guidelines from the American Heart Association note that newer risk formulas are available to predict 10- and 30-year risks for all CVD events, including CHD, stroke, and heart failure; for example, the 10-year predicted risk for CHD of >20% now includes women aged >60 years with elevated CRP as candidates for medication intervention, even if they do not have heart disease or elevated lipid levels.
