Vascular Biomarkers Expert Witnesses

Vascular Biomarkers are measurable biological or physiological indicators that can provide information about vascular health, disease processes and cardiovascular risk. They may include molecules detected in blood as well as measures associated with vascular structure or function. Biomarkers such as cholesterol can be linked directly to heart and circulatory disease, while others may indicate the presence or progression of disease. [Source: British Heart Foundation – Spotting people at risk of heart and circulatory diseases] Cases involving vascular biomarkers can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to the interpretation of laboratory results, cardiovascular risk, endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis and underlying vascular disease. Experts may also consider the clinical significance of biomarker findings, investigations, diagnosis, treatment decisions, causation and subsequent outcomes. Our vascular and cardiovascular expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review medical records, blood test results, vascular investigations, imaging and treatment documentation. They can also assess biomarker findings in the context of vascular disease, cardiovascular risk, diagnosis, clinical management, causation and prognosis.
