Why the study?
Does elevated plasma viscosity increase the risk of a first major coronary heart disease event in middle-aged men?
Does elevated plasma viscosity increase the risk of a first major coronary heart disease event in middle-aged men?
Elevated plasma viscosity is an independent predictor of first major coronary heart disease events in middle-aged men, suggesting its potential utility in cardiovascular risk stratification.

May inform CHD risk assessment in middle-aged men; leaves open whether plasma viscosity improves existing models.
Köenig et al. (1998) studied this question.
