Implication

Supports individualized CVD risk assessment in prevention; leaves open prospective validation of score performance.

Key Points

Provide practical clinical guidance on selecting and implementing cardiovascular disease risk prediction scores across primary and secondary prevention settings.
Synthesized recommendations aligned with European Society of Cardiology guidelines regarding cardiovascular risk evaluation.
Evaluated risk stratification approaches incorporating conventional risk factors, emerging non-traditional biomarkers, and residual risk assessments.
Primary prevention algorithms integrate conventional risk factors with non-traditional markers to calculate 10-year risk and prevent premature cardiovascular mortality.
Secondary prevention strategies require evaluating residual cardiovascular disease risk to identify patients needing intensified pharmacotherapy and closer follow-up.
