Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main funding source(s): statutory measures. The aim of the study was to identify factors correlating with estimated an individual’s 10-year risk of fatal and non-fatal CVD events (myocardial infarction, stroke) in apparently healthy people aged 40-69 years with risk factors that are untreated or have been stable for several years and independent predictors of high and very high CVD risk. 148 patients from high-risk country without established ASCVD, diabetes mellitus, CKD, Familial Hypercholesterolemia were included in the study. The clinical examination, laboratory results, chest x-ray, echocardiography using Vivid E95 - GE Healthcare, non-invasive body mass analysis using Body Composition Analyzer (Tanita Pro), spiroergometry using The MetaSoft® Studio application were performed. The subjects were divided into a low-risk group with low-to-moderate CVD risk in SCORE2 (70 pts) and a high risk group with high and very high CVD risk (78pts). Pts from high risk group had significantly more frequently s arrythmia (23 vs 2%; p<0,001) and obesity (45 vs 10%; p<0.001), they more often use too much amounts of alcohol (8 versus 0%; p=0.02) compared to low risk group. High risk pts had also significantly higher BMI (29 vs 24 kg; p6,75 cm/s (OR 3.9 95% CI: 1.5-10.3; p=0.004) and hs TnT >4.8 pg/ml (OR6.02, 95% CI: 2.3-15.8; p=0.0002) SCORE 2 (%) correlated positively with metabolic age (R Spearman= 0,79; p<0.0001), hs TnT (R=0.6;p<0.001), NT-proBNP (R=0,5;p<0.001) and negatively with eGFR (R=-0,5; p<0/001), VO2max (ml/min/kg) (R=-0,3; p=0.0008) -Figure 1. Higher left ventricular filling pressure assessed by E/E’ and higher hsTnT level are independent predictors of high and very high risk in SCORE 2. The increasing 10-year cardiovascular disease risk correlates with higher metabolic age, higher level of NT-proBNP and hsTnT and lower level of eGFR.
