Are markers of inflammation more strongly associated with risk for fatal than for nonfatal vascular events?

These curves clearly show that while thirds of IL-6 showed little discriminative ability in separating risk for nonfatal CVD in unadjusted models ( p = 0.13), associations with risk for fatal CVD events, fatal other CV events, or non-CVD mortality were all highly significant ( p ≤0.0002 for all).

For fibrinogen, there was no significant association with risk of nonfatal CVD, but borderline significant associations were evident with each of the CVD mortality endpoints ( Table 3 ).
