Key result
Comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment can capture young adults with MI missed by traditional risk tools.
Why the study?
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk estimation can lack comprehensiveness and precision for predicting an individual's ASCVD risk.
Does comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment identify individuals at risk for ASCVD who are missed by traditional risk estimator tools in young adults?

Does comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment identify individuals at risk for ASCVD who are missed by traditional risk estimator tools in young adults?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment incorporating social, genetic, and clinical factors is necessary to identify young adults at risk for ASCVD who may be missed by traditional tools.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk estimation can lack comprehensiveness and precision for predicting an individual's ASCVD risk. This case presents a young adult patient who experienced a myocardial infarction. More thorough risk assessment can capture individuals who may be missed with traditional risk estimator tools and quick assessment in routine clinical practice. Nurse practitioners should investigate expanded social, genetic, and clinical ASCVD risk factors and optimize all modifiable risk factors to prevent, identify, and treat ASCVD.

Emily Mewborn (2024) conducted a case report in Myocardial infarction (n=1). Comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment vs. Traditional risk estimator tools was evaluated. A case report of a young adult with myocardial infarction highlights that comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment is needed to capture individuals missed by traditional risk estimator tools.
