Other operational factors kept constant, decreasing the time for a procedure can be viewed as one marker for increased efficiency.
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with extensive late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is a novel marker for increased risk for sudden death (SD) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC).
These data suggest that HITS monitoring is not a viable surrogate marker for increased thromboembolic risk in such patients with DCM.
Carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) measured noninvasively by ultrasonography is widely used as a marker for increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Chellappa SL, Steiner R, Oelhafen P, Lang D, Götz T, Krebs J, Cajochen C. Viola AU, Chellappa SL, Archer SN, Pugin F, Götz T, Dijk DJ, Cajochen C. with major depression: a marker for increased homeostatic sleep pressure?

Our findings strongly support the hypothesis that the KRAS-variant is a genetic marker for increased risk of developing OC, and they suggest that the KRAS-variant may be a new genetic marker of cancer risk for HBOC families without other known genetic abnormalities.
However, it may serve as a marker for increased risk of disease development.
