It is not specific to the heart, but it is often discussed in cardiovascular medicine because inflammation can relate to vascular disease and some cardiac conditions. Clinicians use it as a general \u201csignal\u201d of inflammation and to help interpret symptoms, imaging, and other lab results. A common variation, high-sensitivity C-reactive Protein, is used in some settings to refine cardiovascular risk assessment."}
