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.
The tomographic slices of the heart are 3 millimeters thick and average about 50–60 slices from the coronary artery ostia to the inferior wall of the heart. The calcium score of every calcification in each coronary artery for all of the tomographic slices is then summed up to give the total coronary artery calcium score (CAC score). [9]
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]
As of October 2019, WikiEM has about 4,050 content pages. [5] Emergency medicine practitioners have been quick to adopt smart phone applications, including WikEM, for use as point-of-care medical references. [6] WikEM has been listed as a key reference for emergency medicine physicians, [6] residents, [4] medical students, [4] nurses, [7] and ...

EuroSCORE (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation) is a risk model which allows the calculation of the risk of death after a heart operation. The model asks for 17 items of information about the patient, the state of the heart and the proposed operation, [1] and uses logistic regression to calculate the risk of death. [2]
Thus, the CHA 2 DS 2-VASc score is a refinement of CHADS 2 [8] [10] score and extends the latter by including additional common stroke risk factors, that is, age 65–74, female gender and vascular disease. [11] In the CHA 2 DS 2-VASc score, 'age 75 and above' also has extra weight, with 2 points.
The basis for the modern prevention of CVD lies in the prognosis of the risk of the development of myocardial infarction, stroke or heart failure in the future. Currently, most prognostic models of cardiovascular risk (European SCORE scale, Framingham scale, etc.) are based on the evaluation of traditional risk factors of CVD.
