Coronary artery calcium score combined with Framingham score for risk prediction in asymptomatic individuals.
CONTEXT Guidelines advise that all adults undergo coronary heart disease (CHD) risk assessment to guide preventive treatment intensity. Although the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) is often recommended for this, it has been suggested that risk assessment may be improved by additional tests such as coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS). OBJECTIVES To determine whether CACS assessment combined wit...
متن کاملPrognostic Utility of a Modified HEART Score in Chest Pain Patients in the Emergency Department.
BACKGROUND The TRAPID-AMI trial study (High-Sensitivity Troponin-T Assay for Rapid Rule-Out of Acute Myocardial Infarction) evaluated high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-T (hs-cTnT) in a 1-hour acute myocardial infarction (AMI) exclusion algorithm. Our study objective was to evaluate the prognostic utility of a modified HEART score (m-HS) within this trial. METHODS AND RESULTS Twelve centers ev...
متن کاملcomparison of prediction between timi (thrombolysis in myocardial infarction) risk score and modified timi risk score in discharged patients from emergency department with atypical chest pain
conclusions: the results obtained from this study support the idea that the timi and modified timi risk scores might be valuable tools that could be used to stratify the risk of patients with atypical chest pain in the emergency department. results: no significant difference could be observed between both groups regarding demographic characteristics, ejection fraction, left ventricle hypertroph...
متن کاملUtility of the Framingham risk score to predict the presence of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
The prevalence of ischemic heart disease and atherosclerosis is increased in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In the general population, but not in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, the Framingham risk score identifies patients at increased cardiovascular risk and helps determine the need for preventive interventions. We examined the hypothesis that the Framingham score is inc...
