Is there a cardio specific CRP? I had my CRP done earlier this year and it was pleasantly very
low.(Ruling out RA, Lupus et al) I checked my Dads blood results here at Christmas and his report
says CRP(cardiac). Threw me for a loop as I never knew there were different types for different
pathologies. Insights appreciated.

There is. It is also known as hsCRP. The standard CRP does not really rule out RA or Lupus. A low
sedimentation rate is typically preferred.
Have a blessed X-mas.
