In terms of CAD, not only its presence but also its severity plays a role in the patient\u2019s treatment and prognosis. CAD complexity can be assessed with the indicator named the SYNTAX score (SS). A higher SS is associated with major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) occurrence in short- and long-term observations. Hence, the risk factors affecting CAD severity based on SS results may help lower the risk among patients with already developed CAD to reduce their impact on coronary atherosclerosis progression. The well-established risk factors of CAD are consistent with those associated with the coronary plaque burden. However, recently, it was shown that new indicators exist, which we present in this paper, that significantly contribute to CAD complexity such as inflammatory parameters, C-reactive protein (CRP), ratios based on blood smear results, and uric acid. Moreover, microbiota alteration, vitamin D deficiency, and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) also predicted CAD severity. However, sometimes, certain indicators were revealed as significant only in terms of chronic coronary syndromes (CCSs) or specific acute coronary syndromes (ACSs). Importantly, there is a need to apply the interdisciplinary and translational approach to the novel CAD severity risk assessment to maximize the impact of secondary prevention among patients at risk of coronary atherosclerosis progression.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms25147766","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,16]],"date-time":"2024-07-16T09:46:57Z","timestamp":1721123217000},"page":"7766","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["New Modifiable Risk Factors Influencing Coronary Artery Disease Severity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-0256-2421","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kamila","family":"Florek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Scientific Group of Invasive Cardiology, Institute of Heart Diseases, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-369 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maja","family":"K\u00fcbler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Scientific Group of Invasive Cardiology, Institute of Heart Diseases, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-369 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Magdalena","family":"G\u00f3rka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Scientific Group of Invasive Cardiology, Institute of Heart Diseases, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-369 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2645-0475","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr","family":"K\u00fcbler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Heart Diseases, University Hospital, 50-556 Wroclaw, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Cardiology, Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Heart Diseases, Wroclaw Medical University, 50-367 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2350","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2023.11.007","article-title":"Global Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risks, 1990\u20132022","volume":"82","author":"Mensah","year":"2023","journal-title":"J.
