摘要：
During the last 10 year, several "non-traditional" risk markers for, atherosclerosis haze been identified. Among them, new markers of lipoprotein metabolism (ie lipoprotein [a]), endothelial dysfunction (ie homocysteine), hemostasis (ie fibrinogen) crud inflammation (ie C-reactive protein) hate beers linked to an excessive risk of cardiovascular disease. These factors should help the clinician to better identify individuals at risk of premature atherosclerotic disease and/or improve the predictive value of established risk factors for atherosclerosis. Finally, these factors are expected to improve the knowledge in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases, crud perhaps to impact future therapeutic decisions. In this review article, the will analyze the markers its which there are at least some evidence to support their acceptance as "non-traditional risk. factors" for atherosclerotic disease.
