A new website on the Internet (www.crphealth.com) is designed as a source for the latest updates on C-reactive protein (CRP) for medical professionals and their patients.

The website is updated daily and includes content on the use of high-density CRP (hsCRP) as a prognostic indicator of cardiovascular disease and stroke, as well as the results of observational studies and clinical trials. The editorial board of specialists reviewing the content includes Dr. Paul Ridker (professor of medicine, Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA, USA), Dr. Nader Rifai (associate professor, Harvard Medical School), and Dr. Wolfgang Koenig (professor of medicine/cardiology, University of Ulm Medical Center, in Germany). A sponsor of the website is Dade Behring (Deerfield, IL, USA).

The website's content includes interactive forums, multimedia presentations by experts on inflammation and heart disease, case studies, discussion forums, self-assessments, slide and video libraries, treatment guidelines, references, polls, and the latest medical publications on CRP, as well as frequently asked questions.

"This new website exemplifies our company's continuous efforts to make information available to healthcare providers and patients that meets their needs and enables the best quality of care,” remarked Jim Reid-Anderson, chairman, president, and CEO of Dade Behring.
