TL;DR: It is estimated that under current treatment guidelines, assessment of the CRP or fibrinogen level in people at intermediate risk for a cardiovascular event could help prevent one additional event over a period of 10 years for every 400 to 500 people screened.

TL;DR: The addition of common CIMT measurements to the Framingham Risk Score was associated with small improvement in 10-year risk prediction of first-time myocardial infarction or stroke, but this improvement is unlikely to be of clinical importance.

TL;DR: Because any combination of these conditions was associated with multiplicative mortality risk, life expectancy was substantially lower in people with multimorbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Evaluated biomarkers may be used to predict future cardiovascular events, but the gains over conventional risk factors are minimal and greater improvements were observed in analyses restricted to intermediate-risk individuals.
