Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The emerging risk factors for CAD include homocysteine, lipoprotein(a), and fibrinogen. These factors are not traditionally considered in the assessment of CAD risk but have been found to increase the likelihood of developing CAD. Other traditional risk factors for CAD include advancing age, family history, male sex, impaired fasting glucose, obesity, and hypertension. However, these are not specifically classified as emerging risk factors. Lipoprotein(a) and advancing age are also considered emerging risk factors for CAD, but these options are not comprehensive enough as they do not include homocysteine and fibrinogen.
