"Since choice of therapies may depend on the risk category a patient falls into, moving patients between risk categories could lead to a change in therapy," said co-author Dr. Christopher Newton-Cheh, of MGH Heart Center.
"While there was more category movement among participants initially classified as intermediate-risk, that resulted primarily from movement to lower risk levels, so we still need to find biomarkers that can make a clinically significant difference in predicting cardiovascular risk" he added.
The study appears in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
