  2. QRISK - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QRISK

    QRISK3 (the most recent version of QRISK) is a prediction algorithm for cardiovascular disease (CVD) that uses traditional risk factors (age, systolic blood pressure, smoking status and ratio of total serum cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) together with body mass index, ethnicity, measures of deprivation, family history, chronic kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, atrial ...

  3. Framingham Risk Score - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framingham_Risk_Score

    The Framingham Risk Score is a sex-specific algorithm used to estimate the 10-year cardiovascular risk of an individual. The Framingham Risk Score was first developed based on data obtained from the Framingham Heart Study, to estimate the 10-year risk of developing coronary heart disease. [1]

  4. Lipid profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_profile

    A lipid profile or lipid panel is a panel of blood tests used to find abnormalities in blood lipid ( such as cholesterol and triglycerides) concentrations. [not verified in body] The results of this test can identify certain genetic diseases and can determine approximate risks for cardiovascular disease, certain forms of pancreatitis, and other diseases.

  5. Vertical auto profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_Auto_Profile

    The name "VAP test" uses a technology, the vertical auto profile, to measure and report risk factors for patients who are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease that are not captured by routine cholesterol testing. Its accuracy is unaffected by triglycerides and can be performed in a non-fasting state.

  6. Cardiovascular risk screening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiovascular_risk_screening

    Key risk factors that are evaluated during cardiovascular risk screening include: [4] Hypertension; Hyperlipidemia; Diabetes; Obesity; Smoking; Physical inactivity; Unhealthy diet; Family history of cardiovascular diseases; Age (Men over 45 and women over 55 are at higher risk) Gender (Men are generally at higher risk, though postmenopausal ...

  7. Revised Cardiac Risk Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_Cardiac_Risk_Index

    The Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) is a tool used to estimate a patient's risk of perioperative cardiac complications. The RCRI and similar clinical prediction tools are derived by looking for an association between preoperative variables (e.g., patient's age, type of surgery, comorbid diagnoses, or laboratory data) and the risk for cardiac complications in a cohort of surgical patients ...

  8. HeartScore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeartScore

    HeartScore is the interactive version of SCORE - Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation [1] - a cardiovascular disease risk assessment system initiated by the European Society of Cardiology, using data from 12 European cohort studies (N=205,178) covering a wide geographic spread of countries at different levels of cardiovascular risks.

  9. Lipid hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_hypothesis

    In 2023, the World Heart Federation published a report which stated that high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol are a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and that elevated LDL cholesterol contributed to 3.8 million deaths in 2021. [6]
