Summary
Brief summary
Estimating the risk of future cardiovascular events such as death, stroke and myocardial
infarction using traditional risk factors (such as age, gender, smoking, diabetes,
hyperlipidaemia and hypertension) is well accepted in patients with and without existing
cardiovascular disease. These estimates are based on a number of robust observational
studies, including the original Framingham study. While these methods apply reasonably well
on a population level their application to the individual patients is not always
straightforward. In addition, risk charts, such as those published by the Joint British
Societies and American Heart Association, may underestimate risk in certain groups, notably
diabetics and patients of Indo-Asian background, whilst overestimating risk in others (by as
much as 50% in some studies).
