Background—An updated Framingham risk prediction tool was recently published. It
features an expanded end point of general cardiovascular disease and a “vascular age” risk …

Aprimary goal of coronary prediction models is to iden-tify high-risk individuals who will
benefit from aggressive lifestyle changes such as dietary prudence, smoking cessation, and …

Objectives A young person with many risk factors may have the same level of risk as an
older person with no risk factors. Thus a high-risk 40-year-old may have a risk age of 60 …

We investigated whether the Framingham risk score, which was designed to estimate the 10-
year risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), differentiates lifetime risk for CHD. All subjects in …

Background—Present cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction algorithms were
developed for a≤ 10-year follow up period. Clustering of risk factors at younger ages and …

BACKGROUND: We tested the ability of the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) and the online
ATP III risk estimator to estimate risk and to predict 10-year and longer-term coronary heart …

Background—Separate multivariable risk algorithms are commonly used to assess risk of
specific atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, ie, coronary heart disease …

Background Multivariable risk prediction equations attempt to quantify an individual's
cardiovascular risk. Those borne from the Framingham Heart Study remain the most well …

Background—Lifetime risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) has not
previously been estimated, and the effect of risk factor burden on lifetime risk is unknown …

Aims In 2008, a new cardiovascular risk table from the Framingham Heart Study was
published, which incorporated the new concept 'vascular age'. The aim of the present study …
