Abstract: Little is known about circulating biomarkers of vascular injury in relation to cardiovascular disease risk. Thus, we evaluated associations between six novel markers (E-Selectin, P-Selectin, thrombomodulin, thrombopoietin, intercellular adhesion molecule 3 and GPIIb/IIIa) and established cardiovascular risk factors as well as the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in a population-based study. Biomarkers were measured in pre-diagnostic plasma samples of a case-cohort subset of EPIC-Heidelberg (incident MI cases: n = 369, random sub-cohort: n = 2,418). Generalized Linear models were used to analyse cross-sectional associations between biomarkers and cardiovascular risk factors. Multivariable Cox Regression analyses were carried out to obtain Hazard Ratios (HRs) of MI across quartiles of biomarkers levels. Cross-sectional analyses showed that sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes and exogenous hormone use were associated with biomarker levels. However, while fibrinogen was associated with MI risk (HR per standard deviation: 2.97 [95% confidence interval: 1.61, 5.46]), none of the six novel biomarkers was associated with MI risk after multivariable adjustment. In a population-based cohort, biomarkers of vascular injury were associated with established cardiovascular risk factors, but not MI risk. The tested biomarkers may reflect pathophysiological alterations in cardiovascular disease development rather than constituting independent MI risk factors.
