Why the study?
Does the addition of brachial FMD to the Framingham Risk Score improve the prediction and risk classification of incident cardiovascular events in population-based adults?
Does the addition of brachial FMD to the Framingham Risk Score improve the prediction and risk classification of incident cardiovascular events in population-based adults?
Brachial FMD improves cardiovascular risk reclassification when added to the Framingham Risk Score, despite not improving overall discrimination.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May aid reclassification in observational cohorts; leaves open whether FMD enhances prediction beyond FRS.
