Context Prior studies have demonstrated conflicting results regarding how much information
novel biomarkers add to cardiovascular risk assessment. Objective To evaluate the utility of
contemporary biomarkers for predicting cardiovascular risk when added to conventional risk
factors. Design, Setting, and Participants Cohort study of 5067 participants (mean age, 58
