Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to test new cardiovascular risk models for very old adults, focusing on those with and without a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
- It involved a cross-validated cohort study using data from two groups: BELFRAIL and Leiden 85-plus, analyzing patients aged 80 and older.
- Results showed that traditional risk factors were not effective in predicting cardiovascular outcomes, but the addition of NT-pro-BNP as a biomarker significantly improved prediction accuracy, especially in those without prior CVD.
