Framingham Risk Score BMI estimates ~61% of hypertensive patients face high 10-year CVD risk.
Why the study?

May signal high CVD risk in hypertensives; leaves open FRS-BMI validation versus standard scores.
Cross-Sectional (n=130)
The majority of hypertensive patients assessed with the Framingham Risk Score BMI have a high estimated 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease.
Calisanie et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=130). Hypertension was evaluated on High risk of cardiovascular disease in the next 10 years. Among hypertensive patients, 60.8% were estimated to be at high risk for developing cardiovascular disease over the next 10 years based on the Framingham Risk Score BMI.
