Research into cardiovascular risk factors shows promise, but classical factors explain only 30% of events. This review identifies numerous other potential risk factors needing further investigation to understand their role in cardiovascular disease.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Cardiovascular disease research is emerging, with initial successes.
  • Established risk factors explain a limited portion of cardiovascular events.
  • The need to identify additional cardiovascular risk factors is critical.

Purpose:

  • To review and identify unalterable, conditionally alterable, and treatable characteristics associated with elevated cardiovascular risk.
  • To highlight factors beyond the classical, well-understood risk profile.
  • To underscore the necessity for further research into novel risk determinants.

Summary:

  • Classical cardiovascular risk factors account for only 30% of events, indicating the existence of unknown or underestimated factors.
  • This review identifies 10 unalterable, 6 conditionally alterable, and 9 treatable characteristics linked to increased cardiovascular risk.
