Supports updated risk prediction in primary prevention; leaves open prospective outcome validation.
Do the PREVENT equations improve cardiovascular risk prediction compared to the Pooled Cohort Equations in adults without established CVD?
The PREVENT equations offer improved, contemporary risk prediction for CVD and heart failure compared to the Pooled Cohort Equations, and are now incorporated into US prevention guidelines.
Rahul Aggarwal (2026) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease risk (primary prevention). PREVENT equations vs. Pooled Cohort Equations was evaluated on 10- and 30-year risk of total CVD, ASCVD, heart failure, coronary artery disease, and stroke. The PREVENT equations demonstrate improved calibration and broader applicability for predicting cardiovascular risk compared with the prior Pooled Cohort Equations.
