A six question screen to facilitate primary cardiovascular disease prevention
2015
Background
European guidelines on primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) recommend the SCORE risk charts for determining CVD risk, which include blood pressure and serum cholesterol as risk parameters. To facilitate cost-effective large-scale screening, we aimed to construct a risk score with ‘non-invasive’ parameters as a first screening step to identify persons at increased CVD risk requiring further risk assessment.
