Preventative Cardiology Metrics

Meaning

Preventative Cardiology Metrics are a comprehensive suite of quantifiable biological and physiological measurements used to assess an individual’s current and future risk of developing cardiovascular disease, focusing on early detection and primary prevention. These metrics extend beyond traditional blood pressure and cholesterol mass to include advanced markers such as lipoprotein particle number (LDL-P), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, and indices of endothelial function. The primary utility of these metrics is to identify individuals who would benefit most from aggressive, early intervention to modify the disease trajectory.
