Lifetime cardiovascular risk is associated with a multimarker score of systemic oxidative status in young adults independently of traditional risk factors
Cardiovascular risk (CVR) tends to be estimated in the short-term, which underestimates lifetime (LT)-CVR of young subjects. We determined whether LT-CVR is associated with a multimarker score of oxidative status in young adults and whether this association is independent of traditional CVR factors. Seventy-two young adults were stratified into: 1) low or 2) high LT-CVR, and 3) stable coronary artery disease (SCAD). CVR was estimated with QRisk and Atherosclerotic CV disease (ASCVD) Risk Estimators, or Second Manifestations of Arterial Disease (SMART) Risk Score.
