Highlights the potential for refined CHD risk stratification using metabolic profiles; leaves open whether these complex multivariate models.
In this review, data are reviewed concerning various metabolic risk factors that have been associated with coronary heart disease, drawing upon the experience of observational studies and clinical trials. Topics include lipids, glycemia, secular trends, hematologic factors, homocysteine, estrogen replacement, and familial and genetic factors. Using combinations of these types of factors in multivariate risk profiles is discussed, along with the opportunity to incorporate some of these factors into the prediction of coronary heart disease in the future.

Peter W.F. Wilson (1999) conducted a review in Coronary heart disease. Metabolic risk factors was evaluated. This review summarizes data on metabolic risk factors for coronary heart disease, including lipids, glycemia, and genetic factors, and discusses their incorporation into multivariate risk profiles.
