Key result
A numerical coronary risk profile was significantly higher in patients with angiographically documented coronary-artery disease compared to those without (1.52 vs 1.08, P<0.01).
Why the study?
Does the Framingham coronary risk profile correlate with angiographically determined severity of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization?
Cross-Sectional (n=158)
Does the Framingham coronary risk profile correlate with angiographically determined severity of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization?
Absolute Event Rate: 1.52% vs 1.08%
p-value: p=<0.01
The Framingham coronary risk profile accurately identifies high-risk patients and correlates with the angiographic severity of coronary artery disease.

Supports Framingham profile association with angiographic CAD; leaves open prospective outcome validation before guiding decisions.
Salel et al. (1977) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary-artery disease (n=158). Coronary risk profile vs. Patients without coronary disease was evaluated on Risk profile score (p=<0.01). A numerical coronary risk profile was significantly higher in patients with angiographically documented coronary-artery disease compared to those without (1.52 vs 1.08, P<0.01).
