Very interesting post. I enjoyed reading about the various biomarkers and the drugs. Although I wished there were more details associated with the drugs. But I understand that you can't cover it in one post.

On a separate note I have been thinking that almost everything you can think of from genetics to diet to psychological stress is a risk factor for CVD. What I was wondering is that if there is a common crossover point psychologically on how they all lead to CVD (for instance inflammation).
