    摘要: Diagnostic tests and methods for characterizing an individual's risk of having or developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), monitoring an individual's response to intervention aimed at preventing or reducing CVD, assessing an individual's risk of experiencing an adverse cardiovascular event, and/or determining whether a subject requires intervention as a result of being at risk of having CVD are described. The methods are useful for identifying those individuals who are in need of intervention aimed at reducing the risk or severity of CVD as well as those individuals who do not require aggressive intervention targeted at preventing CVD.

    摘要: Methods of characterizing a test subject's risk of having or developing cardiovascular disease are provided. The methods include using an analytic device to determine levels of choline-related trimethylamine-containing compounds such as trimethylamine N-oxide, choline, or betaine in a biological sample obtained from the subject and comparing the levels of the choline-related trimethylamine-containing compound in the subject's biological sample to a control value. The test subject's risk of having cardiovascular disease is then characterized as higher if the levels of the choline-related trimethylamine-containing compound are higher than the control value. Also provided are methods of identifying a subject at risk of experiencing a complication of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and methods of evaluating the efficacy of a cardiovascular therapeutic agent in a subject with cardiovascular disease using levels of choline-related trimethylamine-containing compounds.
