Exercise Testing, Family History, and Subclinical Atherosclerosis Markers for Cardiovascular Risk Reclassification in Middle-Aged Women

“…This study demonstrated that adding the variables premature family history of cardiovascular events, exercise test parameters, and markers of subclinical a positive family history, the addition of other variables to the risk score may identify and benefit those most vulnerable to cardiovascular events. 39 Several variables have been proposed for reclassification of cardiovascular risk estimated by the FRS, 3,27,29 varying from simple clinical history to more complex methods that are expensive or require advanced technology, such as cardiac imaging tests. The variables analyzed in the present study were previously shown to be associated with severe outcomes, 3,11,[16][17][18]23,26,29 including death, acute myocardial infarction, and stroke.…”
