Cardiovascular Risk Markers

Meaning

Cardiovascular risk markers are measurable biochemical, physiological, or genetic indicators that correlate with an increased probability of developing heart disease, stroke, or other vascular complications. Clinically, these markers extend beyond traditional cholesterol panels to include indicators of inflammation, endothelial function, and metabolic health. Monitoring these factors allows for proactive management of an individual’s long-term cardiovascular prognosis.
