What usually happens next
Nothing to act on alone; it's one of several things that sharpen a heart-risk estimate.
When a CRP can read wrong
Some labs report CRP in mg/dL rather than mg/L: 0.3 mg/dL is 3 mg/L. Any recent infection, injury, hard exercise or vaccination raises it for a week or two.

Questions
Is a CRP of 1.0 mg/L normal?
A CRP of 1.0 mg/L is in the 1 to 3 mg/L band the AHA and CDC call average heart risk. The usual range is under 3 mg/L in most healthy people; many labs flag above 5 or 10.
Is a CRP of 1.0 mg/L high?
Under 1 mg/L is low, 1 to 3 average and over 3 raised. Over 10 usually means an infection or active inflammation rather than long-term heart risk.
