Coronary calcium independently predicts incident premature coronary heart disease over measured cardiovascular risk factors: mean three-year outcomes in the Prospective Army Coronary Calcium (PACC) project. (2005, background): “Coupled with an increasing recognition of the low specificity (28) of defined “risk factors” as a direct consequence of lowered thresholds in risk factors (for example, for blood pressure and cholesterol [15]), plaque burden assessments offer a quantitative, anatomic, diseaseFigure 1.”
Increased Risk of Non-Fatal Myocardial Infarction Following Testosterone Therapy Prescription in Men (2014, background): “[32] We were also unable to examine whether this excess was related to indications such as level of serum testosterone or hypogonadism.”
2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk (2013, background): “Claims that a minority of the risk of CVD can be explained by the major traditional risk factors or that most patients presenting with CHD have no elevated traditional risk factors have been disproved.(36,37) Nonetheless, the desire to improve existing quantitative riskestimation tools has helped to”
Development and validation of improved algorithms for the assessment of global cardiovascular risk in women: the Reynolds Risk Score. (2007, background): “However, for women, up to 20% of all coronary events occur in the absence of these major risk factors,(9) whereas many women with traditional risk factors do not experience coronary events.(10) Furthermore, over the past halfcentury, understanding of the biological processes underlying atherothrombo”
