The CT scan is a more sensitive test than hs-CRP but in addition to the radiation issue, is more expensive and I believe it has a high false positive rate. Also, I remember reading that using both hs-CRP and Lp-PLA2 gives better diagnostic accuracy than either alone. So perhaps (you tell me if you know), this combined test might not be so far from the scan in terms of predicting of heart disease.
