abstract = {In this study, we estimated the risk of acute coronary syndrome and stroke associated with several emerging
cardiovascular risk factors. This was a case-control study, where an age - and sex-matched acute coronary
syndrome group and stroke group were compared with controls. Demographic and clinical data were collected
through patient interviews, and blood samples were taken for analysis. In the bivariate analysis, all cardiovascular
risk factors analyzed showed as predictors of acute coronary syndrome and stroke, except total cholesterol and
smoking. In the multivariate logistic regression model for acute coronary syndrome, hypertension and body mass
index, N-terminal section brain natriuretic peptide and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-Awere independent
predictors. For stroke, the predictors were hypertension, diabetes mellitus, body mass index, and N-terminal
section brain natriuretic peptide. Controlling for age, sex, and classical cardiovascular risk factors, N-terminal
section brain natriuretic peptide and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A were independent emerging
cardiovascular risk factors for acute coronary syndrome, but pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A was not
for stroke. High levels of cardiovascular risk factors in individuals with no episodes of cardiovascular disease
requires the implementation of prevention programs, given that at least half of them are modifiable.},
