Figure 2 Risk Reclassification Using hsCRP and Parental History

Impact of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) (representing inflammation) and family history (representing genetics) on estimates of global cardiovascular risk for a representative population of 100,000 U.S. women at 5% to 10% and 10% to 20% 10-year risk according to the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP-III). Data adapted from references 34 and 35. BP = blood pressure; CVD = cardiovascular disease; HDLC = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC = total cholesterol.
