4 Why risk prediction? High risk high (cost-) effectiveness 7 G-PCS-0268/GLB.ALI Kannel et al. Annals Intern Med 1961;55: G-PCS-0268/GLB.ALI

5 Inconsistency of Risk Scores DETECT Study 2003 PROCAM FRS-CVD ARRIBA PCE Reynolds FRS-CHD2 9 G-PCS-0268/GLB.ALI Limitations of current CVD risk Scientific Already used to guide therapy but Poor discrimination Inconsistency of prediction models Different endpoints (MACE vs. CVD mortality) Poor representation of genetic factors (e.g. family history) Intermediate risk groups ill defined Diabetes mellitus mostly treated as coronary risk equivalent Only one risk stratification algorithm available for patients with stable coronary disease (Marshner) Novel biomarkers not included 10 G-PCS-0268/GLB.ALI

6 Limitations of CVD risk prediction Practical Lack of knowledge Confusion due to different recommendations and guidelines Confusion due to different endpoints Require linking clinical and laboratory findings No straight forward tools available in primary care In Germany Ten out of 100 physicians know about risk algorithms One out of 100 uses them in daily practice 11 G-PCS-0268/GLB.ALI traditional Oxidative Stress NO Endothelial Dysfunction Calcification Factors Sympathetic activity BNP 12 G-PCS-0268/GLB.ALI

7 Development requirements Utilize the potential of novel biomarkers for improved risk prediction Non-redundancy of selected predictor variables Biomedical plausibility (representation of organ systems and pathophysiology) Actionable markers Ease and convenience of implementation on automated analyzers Transportability and ease of re-calibration Complete independence from anamnestic and clinical information 13 G-PCS-0268/GLB.ALI The evidence base LUdwigshafen RIsk and Cardiovascular Health (LURIC) Study One of the first German biobanks to investigate heart disease Heart Center Ludwigshafen, Universities of Freiburg, Ulm, and Graz Inclusion criteria Coronary angiogramm Clinically stable with the exception of acute coronary disease Recruitment 1997 to 2001 (n = 3500) Comprehenisve clinical, biochemical and genetic characterization Follow-up 9.9 years 14 G-PCS-0268/GLB.ALI

Epub 2015 Aug 6 33 G-PCS-0268/GLB.ALI Many CVD biomarkers (e.g. troponins, natriuretic peptides) are altered in CKD. Would this mean that the need the be interpreted differently in CKD? 34 G-PCS-0268/GLB.ALI

19 Conclusions Biomarkers need to be evaluated according to clinical outcomes. There is no single biomarker reflecting all CVD risk conditions. The novel biomarker combination Coropredict allows to identify patients at high risk of CVD death independent of clinical information. Further research has indicated that other, even newer biomarkers hardly would beat the Coropredict combination. Chronic kidney disease strongly impacts on cardiovascular risk. Cardiac biomarkers in part capture the risk conferred by chronic kidney disease, indicating a cardio-renal continuum. 37 G-PCS-0268/GLB.ALI
