The Framingham risk score gives a 10-year prediction of risk of cardiovascular disease from a summation of points assigned by looking up risk factors in tables. Risk factors include patient sex, age, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, smoking status and the presence/...
Polygenic risk scores for cardiovascular risk prediction: moving towards implementation into clinical practice? Coronary artery disease (CAD) is highly heritable. The technological advances over the past decade have enabled faster and more comprehensive genetic analysis with a simultaneous lowering of costs...
