What “new” factors should be considered when assessing cardiovascular risk?

One of the causes of high mortality from cardiovascular diseases is the lack of effective measures for the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular complications (CCO), due to the difficulty of timely identification risk factors (RF) and individuals with a high individual risk of CCO. This is especially true for patients from low/mean risk. This group is heterogeneous. Often, clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis occur for the first time without “classical” RF. Possible factors that increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and CCO, are: heart rate, increased formation of advanced glycation endproducts, disorders of bone mineral metabolism, thyroid function, low adherence to therapy, psychosocial factors and climatic features. This review is devoted to the analysis of the evidence base of the influence of these “new” CCO RF and the individual patient prognosis.
