Cavadis recognizes the increasing need for novel biomarkers to assess cardiovascular risk and acknowledges the rigourous requirements to prove their value in clinical practice. Recently the
American Heart Association (AHA) published a set of guidelines proposing standards for the critical appraisal of novel biomarkers.
For an adequate evaluation of novel biomarkers the study design should be representative for the at-risk population and an adequate number of cardiovascular adverse events must be reported. Cavadis evaluates each marker in terms of predictive power, added value to existing risk scores, sensitivity, specificity and cost-effectiveness. CA
VΛRISK ASSAYS™ are developed according to US and EU regulatory guidelines.
