Non-traditional risk factors for Atherosclerosis

During the last 10 years, several "non-traditional" risk markers for atherosclerosis have been identified. Among them, new markers of lipoprotein metabolism (ie lipoprotein [ a]), endothelial dysfunction (ie homocysteine), hemostasis (ie fibrinogen) and inflammation (ie C-reactive protein)...
