Research recommendations for near-term risk identification; leaves open validated integrated approaches before any practice impact.
Structured PICO
What are the research recommendations for developing an integrated approach to identify individuals at high risk for near-term cardiovascular events?
P
Population
Individuals at high risk for a cardiovascular event such as acute coronary syndromes (ACS) or sudden cardiac death in the near term (within 1 year)
E
Exposure
Integrated approach for risk assessment including biomarkers, proteomics, genetics, psychosocial factors, imaging, coagulation, and vascular and myocardial susceptibility
O
Outcome
Identification of near-term (within 1 year) cardiovascular event risk
This working group report outlines research directions for developing integrated approaches to identify patients at high risk for near-term cardiovascular events.
Cite This Study
Eagle et al. (2010) conducted a review in High risk for a cardiovascular event (ACS or sudden cardiac death). Risk assessment techniques was evaluated. A working group reviewed current clinical practices and state-of-the-science techniques to provide research recommendations for identifying individuals at high risk for near-term cardiovascular events.
