Summary

Efforts to identify individuals at a higher risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes focus on traditional risk factors, such as age, gender, smoking status, blood pressure, and cholesterol; however, this approach does not directly assess cardiovascular function and underestimates the risk of experiencing adverse cardiovascular outcomes in women. This prospective, observational trial will examine the ability of the Assessment of Large and Small Artery Elasticity for the Early Detection of Cardiovascular Disease screening protocol, a series of non-invasive procedures to identify middle-aged and older women who are at elevated risk for experiencing an adverse cardiovascular event in the five-year period after screening. The predictive value of the Assessment of Large and Small Artery Elasticity for the Early Detection of Cardiovascular Disease protocol will also be compared to the Framingham Risk Score to determine if one method has better sensitivity for estimating risk for an adverse cardiovascular outcome.
