Hugh Tunstall‐Pedoe (1991) conducted an observational in Coronary risk (n=15,562). Dundee coronary risk-disk was evaluated on Coronary events (derivation) and primary care evaluation. The Dundee coronary risk-disk, derived from 5,203 men with 331 coronary events over 5 years, provides a simple, valid 1-100 rank for assessing and monitoring modifiable coronary risk.
