Multiple
cardiovascular risk factors drive adverse clinical outcomes
|
|
Cardiovascular
disease remains the number one cause of death despite recent advances in
cardiovascular care, such as the introduction of new effective drugs for the
management of individual cardiovascular risk factors.
|
|
The
overall risk of an adverse cardiovascular event is often driven by multiple
individual risk factors, including abdominal obesity, dyslipidaemia, insulin
resistance/glucose intolerance and raised blood pressure.
|
|
Accordingly,
new approaches that address these multiple sources of overall cardiometabolic
risk, rather than individual risk factors, may be required for the next
advance in cardiovascular and diabetes care.
