| Low total testosterone levels were correlated with a high body mass index and elevated values for the following health parameters: body fat, blood sugar, insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c, a long-term indicator of high blood sugar), and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (a marker for ongoing inflammation). The new high sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (CRPH) test accurately measures levels of CRP and assists physicians in assessing a patient's risk of cardiovascular disease when used in combination with traditional cardiac risk indicators, such as cholesterol, HDL, LDL, body weight, and blood pressure. In addition to these emerging cardiac markers having potential to be useful in the risk assessment, prognosis or diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, they may also provide independent, complementary information to routine cardiac markers such as Troponin I, NT-proBNP and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), among others. |
