Framingham risk score inadequately predicts cardiac risk in young patients presenting with a first myocardial infarction.
INTRODUCTION The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) is a well-validated epidemiologic tool used to assess the risk for a fi rst cardiac event. Because young patients presenting with a fi rst myocardial infarction (MI) tend to have less significant risk profiles compared with older patients, we hypothesized that FRS may underestimate cardiac risk in these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 12...
متن کاملAddition of serum sodium into the MELD score predicts waiting list mortality better than MELD alone.
In this study, we investigated the prognostic value of serum sodium and hyponatremia (< or =130 mEq/L) in 262 cirrhotic patients consecutively listed, 19 of which died (7%), 175 survived (67%), and 68 underwent liver transplantation (26%) during 3 months of follow-up. Hyponatremia was present in 63% of patients who died, compared to 13% of those who survived (P < .001), whereas the proportion w...
متن کاملThe REGICOR-calibrated function provides a better classification of high-risk patients on statin treatment in the Spanish population than the Framingham or SCORE classifications.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES To determine which cardiovascular risk function is best for classifying high-risk individuals on statins. METHODS Descriptive cross-sectional study of 804 randomly selected patients aged 35-74 years. Variables studied included statin treatment, high cardiovascular risk according to Framingham-REGICOR (10-year risk >or=10%), Framingham-Wilson (10-year risk >or=20%) ...
متن کاملCorrelation study of Framingham risk score and vascular dementia
Vascular dementia (VaD) is one of the most common forms of dementia, and second only to Alzheimer's disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential diagnostic value of Framingham risk score (FRS) in VaD by investigating the relationship among cardiovascular risks, FRS, and VaD.Data were collected from patients (n = 130) at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China. They were divided into...
متن کاملFramingham Risk Score with Cardiovascular Events in Chronic Kidney Disease
The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) was developed to predict coronary heart disease in various populations, and it tended to under-estimate the risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Our objectives were to determine whether FRS was associated with cardiovascular events, and to evaluate the role of new risk markers and echocardiographic parameters when they were added to a FRS model. This st...
