First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study surveyed 608 heart and kidney doctors to understand their awareness and use of a blood test called hsCRP, which measures inflammation. The goal was to learn what doctors think about inflammation's role in treating patients with heart disease, kidney disease, or heart failure. No treatments were given—only opinions were collected through an online questionnaire.
