Data from the Framingham Heart Study and risk-appraisal models were used to develop a Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Risk Factor Calculator® for early identification of high-risk individuals. The Calculator was tested at an employee health fair for a large northeastern US corporation. Of the 590...
Here we see the calculator being used for an older man with fairly favorable risk factor profile but 0 CAC. Under a risk score without CAC, 10-year estimated CHD risk is 9.3%, due in large part to his age. Once we factor in that he has no detectable CAC, estimated risk is only ...
We had moved from a time when we asked "if CAC adds to the risk score" to a time when we are asking "does CAC facilitate a shared decision-making model matching risk, treatment, and patient preferences?" A new risk calculator incorporating CAC into global risk scoring, and 2017 ...
The objective of this study was to examine the association of Joint National Committee (JNC-V) blood pressure and National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) cholesterol categories with coronary heart disease (CHD) risk, to incorporate them into coronary prediction algorithms, and to compare the di...
Education and development of improved risk calculators should enable the most appropriate calculator to be used for an individual patient; accreditation of implementation could be achieved through the use of a standard set of test cases. 展开
aged 40 to 70 years, with FHCAD events (first-degree male relative <55 years, female relative <65 years, or second-degree relative <50 years of age) and a predicted 5-year Australian Absolute Cardiovascular Disease Risk Calculator (derived from the Framingham Risk Score) of from 2% to 15...
We use standard risk factors like lipids, smoking, age, gender, and diabetes to stratify individuals according to their 10-year risk of heart attack and stroke (using this online risk calculatoropens in a new tab or window). However, many apparent low-risk individuals (often due to inherited...
The 10-year risk of atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) was calculated according to the Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE) calculator.1 The PCE is intended for individuals aged 40 to 79 years. For individuals aged 30 to 39 years, we used the raw PCE equations with removal of the age limitation and ca...
Cardiovascular Risk Assessment in a Cohort of Newly Diagnosed Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Researchers from Portugal compared the American College of Cardiology/ American Heart Association risk calculator to the European Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) in a patient population tha...
