Prediction of Cardiovascular Risk Using Framingham, ASSIGN and QRISK2: How Well Do They Predict Individual Rather than Population Risk?
"... Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of risk scores (Framingham, Assign and QRISK2) in predicting high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in individuals rather than populations. Methods and findings: This study included 1.8 million persons without CVD and prior stat ..."

, diabetes mellitus and number of records for medical events in the electronic health records in the year before the index date. A QRISK2 estimate of low 10-year CVD risk (,15%) was confirmed by Framingham, ASSIGN and our individual predicted risks in 89.8 % while an estimate of high 10-year CVD risk ($20
Original Scientific Paper Predictive modeling of health care costs: do cardiovascular risk markers improve prediction?
, 2009
"... Background To investigate the ability of multiple cardiovascular disease (CVD) markers to predict future health care costs. CVD markers included traditional risk factors (smoking status, body mass index, waist circumference, alcohol intake, diabetes, total: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio ..."

Cardiovascular Risk Factors Coronary Collateral Circulation and Cardiovascular Risk Factors: Is There a Paradox?
"... We sought to determine the association of major cardiovascular risk factors and other comorbidities with the presence or absence of coronary collateral (CC) circulation. All electronic medical records from 2010 to 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 563 patients were divided into 2 groups ..."

Endothelial function as a functional expression of cardiovascular risk factors.
- Biomark Med.
, 2010
"... Abstract Traditional cardiovascular risk (CV) factors based on the Framingham study have been used to estimate the risk of CV events and determine target cholesterol levels for primary prevention. Recently published systematic reviews have, however, demonstrated that the Framingham risk score is li ..."

present in individuals of different populations in predicting CV events. Endothelial dysfunction, a functional expression of the inherent atherosclerotic risk representing an integrated index of both the overall CV risk-factor burden and the sum of all vasculoprotective factors in an individual, may serve
The Chinese physicians ’ CardiovAscular Risk Evaluation (CARE) survey: an assessment of
"... Objective To estimate the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD)/coronary heart disease (CHD) in physicians using two models (the Chinese and Framingham models). Methods This was a multicentre, cross-sectional survey, which recruited cardiovascular physicians from 386 medical centres in all 31 ..."

Printed In Great Britain Do Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Predict All-Cause Mortality?
"... Background. The purpose of this study is to describe associations between a number of standard cardiovascular risk factors and all-cause mortality. Method. Mortality data were collected for a randomly selected cohort of 1029 New Zealand men aged 35-64 years, fol-lowed up over a 9-year period. A prop ..."

proportional hazards regression model was used to estimate the relative risks (RR) for all-cause mortality associated with a number of cardiovascular risk factors. Results. In all, 96 deaths occurred over the 9-year period, of which 50 % were due to cardiovascular causes. All-cause mortality was positively
Circulating Progenitor Cell Count for Cardiovascular Risk Stratification: A Pooled Analysis
- PLoS ONE
, 2010
"... Background: Circulating progenitor cells (CPC) contribute to the homeostasis of the vessel wall, and a reduced CPC count predicts cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We tested the hypothesis that CPC count improves cardiovascular risk stratification and that this is modulated by low-grade inflam ..."

Pediatric Cardiology Pediatric Metabolic Syndrome Predicts Adulthood Metabolic Syndrome, Subclinical Atherosclerosis, and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus but Is No Better Than Body Mass Index Alone The Bogalusa Heart Study and the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Fi
"... Background—The clinical utility of identifying pediatric metabolic syndrome (MetS) is controversial. This study sought to determine the status of pediatric MetS as a risk factor for adult subclinical atherosclerosis (carotid intima-media thickness [cIMT]) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and comp ..."

Comparisons of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and net reclassification index suggested that prediction of adult MetS, high cIMT, and T2DM in adulthood
Thinking Beyond Traditional Cardiovascular Risk Factors: The Role of Arterial Stiffness in Targeting Residual Risk

They assessed left ventricular mass index (LVMi) and carotid intima media thick-ness (IMT) in patients with moderate renal impairm ..."
