Key result
Inflammatory and hemostatic markers predict future cardiovascular disease risk in the elderly, though evidence is lacking for associations with ambient levels of coagulation or fibrinolytic factors.
Why the study?
Do hemostatic and inflammatory markers predict future cardiovascular disease risk in elderly individuals?
Do hemostatic and inflammatory markers predict future cardiovascular disease risk in elderly individuals?
Inflammatory and hemostatic markers are important predictors of future cardiovascular risk in the elderly, though associations in women are complicated by hormone replacement therapy.

May support inflammatory marker use for elderly CVD risk stratification; leaves open coagulation factor roles pending prospective studies.
Russell P. Tracy (2002) conducted a review in Coronary Disease. Hemostatic and Inflammatory Markers was evaluated on Cardiovascular disease risk. Inflammatory and hemostatic markers predict future cardiovascular disease risk in the elderly, though evidence is lacking for associations with ambient levels of coagulation or fibrinolytic factors.
