Improving Intermediate Risk Management. MARK Study
In Brief
An observational study for Myocardial Infarction and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 2,495 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Cardiovascular risk functions fail to identify more than 50% of patients who develop cardiovascular disease. This is especially evident in the intermediate-risk patients in which clinical management becomes difficult. The purpose of this study is to analyze if ankle-brachial index (ABI), measures of arterial stiffness, postprandial glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, self-measured blood pressure and presence of comorbidity are independently associated to incidence of vascular events and whether they can improve the predictive capacity of current risk equations in the intermediate-risk population.
