Apolipoproteins do not add prognostic information beyond lipoprotein cholesterol measures among individuals with obesity and insulin resistance syndromes: The ARIC Study.
By: Ndumele CE, Matsushita K, Astor B, Virani SS, Mora S, Williams EK, Hoogeveen RC, Blumenthal RS, Sharrett AR, Ballantyne CM, Coresh J.
Among individuals with obesity and insulin resistance syndromes, apolipoproteins did not provide prognostic information regarding CHD risk beyond that provided by non-HDL-C and HDL-C.
The association of Framingham and Reynolds risk scores with incidence and progression of coronary artery calcification in MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis).
By: DeFilippis AP, Blaha MJ, Ndumele CE, Budoff MJ, Lloyd-Jones DM, McClelland RL, Lakoski SG, Cushman M, Wong ND, Blumenthal RS, Lima J, Nasir K.
Both the Framingham and Reynolds risk scores predict onset and progression of subclinical atherosclerosis. However, the Reynolds risk score may provide additional predictive information when discordance between the scoring systems exists.

The association of the Framingham and Reynolds risk scores with incidence and progression of coronary artery calcium in MESA.
By: DeFilippis AP, Blaha MJ, Ndumele C, Budoff MJ, Lloyd-Jones D, McClelland RL, Lakoski SG, Cushman M, Wong ND, Blumenthal RS, Lima J, Nasir K.
This innovative study found that the Reynolds Risk Score was modestly better than the traditional Framingham risk score in predicting the incidence of new coronary calcification and the progression of existing calcification. This observation also applied to clinical events.
