Why the study?
Do the newly developed clinical algorithms improve the accuracy of global cardiovascular risk prediction in women?
Do the newly developed clinical algorithms improve the accuracy of global cardiovascular risk prediction in women?
Two newly developed clinical algorithms significantly improve cardiovascular risk prediction in women, successfully reclassifying 40% to 50% of those previously deemed intermediate risk.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May refine CV risk stratification in women; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
We developed, validated, and demonstrated highly improved accuracy of 2 clinical algorithms for global cardiovascular risk prediction that reclassified 40% to 50% of women at intermediate risk into higher- or lower-risk categories.
