Single cEll guided polygeniC Risk prEdicTion of ASCVD
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the most common cause of death worldwide. Aside from asymptomatic manifestations, the first sign of clinically significant ASCVD is often a severe clinical event, such as stroke or myocardial infarction. Thus, identification of people at high risk is central to battle the deadly consequences of ASCVD. The usefulness of current risk prediction models such as SCORE2 is unsatisfactory most likely since the score is built on prevalent risk factors rather than mechanistic changes occuring along the disease path. Especially, genetic risk factors acting already early in life and diverse longitudinal exposures accumulating during the lifetime of a…
