This article explores key concepts related to biomarkers in the context of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). It outlines desirable features of biomarkers, measures of test performance, sources of variability, and available development techniques. Additionally, it discusses approaches for defining abnormal values and provides a glossary of terms relevant to the field. The article also highlights the five phases of biomarker development and poses critical questions for practical application. Overall, it serves as an essential guide for understanding the significance and application of biomarkers in clinical practice.
