Framingham Risk Score predicts 10-year cardiovascular disease risk. It incorporates age, cholesterol, blood pressure, and smoking status.

  1. 1Assign points for age, total cholesterol, HDL, SBP, and smoking status
  2. 2Calculate 10-year risk percentage
  3. 3Risk <10% low, 10-20% intermediate, >20% high

ସମାଧାନ ହୋଇଥିବା ଉଦାହରଣ

ଇନପୁଟ୍
Male age 55, TC 220, HDL 35, SBP 140, smoker
ଫଳ
Risk ≈ 13% (intermediate)

  • Using Framingham in symptomatic patients (already high risk)
  • Not updating scores every 4-6 years as risk factors change

When should risk scoring be done?

In asymptomatic adults 40-75 without known CVD to guide treatment intensity.

Does it account for family history?

No, Framingham doesn't include family history. This is a limitation; consider ASCVD risk instead which does.
