Primary prevention for patients with intermediate framingham Risk Scores
Current Cardiology Reports, 2006Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of mortality in the industrialized world. Proper identification of individuals at risk for CHD is challenging. The Framingham Risk Score, the most widely accepted tool for quantifying 10-year risk, fails to identify a great proportion of future CHD. Because of the health and economic consequences of CHD,

Framingham risk score and severity of coronary artery disease
Herz, 2013Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Easy-to-perform and reliable parameters are needed to predict the presence and severity of CAD and to implement efficient diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. We aimed to examine whether the Framingham risk scoring system can be used for this purpose.A total of 222

Performance of the Framingham Risk Score in patients receiving hemodialysis
Nephrology, 2013AbstractAimThe Framingham Risk Score (FRS), calculated by considering conventional risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, was developed to predict coronary heart disease in various populations. However, reverse epidemiology has been raised concerning these risk factors in predicting high cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients.

The Framingham Risk Score: An Appraisal of Its Benefits and Limitations
American Heart Hospital Journal, 2007The concepts of risk assessment and reduction are the cornerstones of preventive cardiology practice. The Framingham Heart Study is a landmark achievement that has provided valuable insights into coronary heart disease risk prediction. Through this cohort study, risk calculators have been generated to predict the risk of cardiac disease in asymptomatic

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008
The aim of this study was to investigate the link between the risk of developing coronary heart disease as determined by Framingham risk score (FRS) and the novel cardiac risk factors including serum levels of ferritin, C reactive protein (CRP), homocysteine, creatinine, and uric acid.A total of 1698 patients aged 65 years or more were examined. Plasma

Framingham risk score and prediction of lifetime risk for coronary heart disease
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2004We investigated whether the Framingham risk score, which was designed to estimate the 10-year risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), differentiates lifetime risk for CHD. All subjects in the Framingham Heart Study examined from 1971 to 1996 who were free of CHD were included.

Cardiovascular Risk Estimated in Renal Transplant Recipients with the Framingham Score
Transplantation Proceedings, 2012Cardiovascular disease is responsible for much of the mortality and morbidity observed in the renal transplant population. Some studies have applied the Framingham score mainly to the chronic kidney disease (CKD) on renal replacement therapy in an attempt to predict cardiovascular events, but the results underestimated the risk.

Kidney Disease, Framingham Risk Scores, and Cardiac and Mortality Outcomes
The American Journal of Medicine, 2007The Framingham equations were developed to predict incident coronary heart disease. It remains unknown how the presence of chronic kidney disease affects their performance.Individuals without preexisting cardiovascular disease aged 45 to 74 years from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities and Cardiovascular Health Studies were analyzed.

Diet Quality Assessed with the “Framingham Nutritional Risk Score”
2013Research into methods of dietary exposure assessment and the application of these techniques to population-based research has become a prolific area of investigation since the field of nutrition epidemiology emerged as a recognized domain in the 1980s [1, 2]. Prior to that time, the tools available to the assess food and nutrient intakes were much more
