Risk Prediction in Cardiovascular Medicine Cardiovascular Risk Prediction
Few topics have received as much attention in the cardiovascular literature over the last 5 years as risk prediction. The assessment of risk has been a key element in efforts to define risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), to identify novel markers of risk for CVD, to identify and assess potential targets of therapy, and to enhance the cost-effective implementation of therapies for bot...
متن کاملComparison of the Framingham and Reynolds Risk scores for global cardiovascular risk prediction in the multiethnic Women's Health Initiative.
BACKGROUND Framingham-based and Reynolds Risk scores for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prediction have not been directly compared in an independent validation cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS We selected a case-cohort sample of the multiethnic Women's Health Initiative Observational Cohort, comprising 1722 cases of major CVD (752 myocardial infarctions, 754 ischemic strokes, and 216 other CVD death...
متن کاملDevelopment and validation of improved algorithms for the assessment of global cardiovascular risk in women: the Reynolds Risk Score.
CONTEXT Despite improved understanding of atherothrombosis, cardiovascular prediction algorithms for women have largely relied on traditional risk factors. OBJECTIVE To develop and validate cardiovascular risk algorithms for women based on a large panel of traditional and novel risk factors. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Thirty-five factors were assessed among 24 558 initially healthy U...
متن کاملThe Effects of Tibolone on Risk Factors of Cardiovascular Disease in Menopausal Women
Background: Tibolone is frequently used as a hormone-like alternative to traditional HRT. Therefore, it is valuable to compare the effects of tibolone and HRT on cardiovascular diseases risk factors. Methods: A total of 156 healthy non-surgical postmenopausal women were included in an open randomized study. They were assigned to receive daily 2.5 mg tibolone plus one Cal+D (500 mg calcium and 2...
متن کاملChemokines in cardiovascular risk prediction.
In consideration of the important role of inflammation in plaque progression and stability, recent work has focused on whether plasma markers of inflammation can non-invasively diagnose and predict coronary artery disease (CAD) and other forms of atherosclerotic disorders. Although several studies support an important pathogenic role of chemokines in atherogenesis and plaque destabilization, po...
