The relationship of total cholesterol (TC):HDL cholesterol ratio to 10-year fatal CVD events in men and women aged 60 years with and without risk factors, based on a risk function derived from the SCORE project Ian Graham et al. European Heart Journal 2007;28:2375-414
Impact of combinations of risk factors on risk Ian Graham et al. European Heart Journal 2007;28:2375-414
Advantages in using the SCORE risk chart • Intuitive, easy to use tool • Takes account of the multifactorial nature of CVD • Estimates risk of all atherosclerotic CVD, not just CHD • Allows flexibility in management - if an ideal risk factor level cannot be achieved, total risk can still be reduced by reducing other risk factors • Allows a more objective assessment of risk over time • Establishes a common language of risk for clinicians • Shows how risk increases with age • The new relative risk chart helps to illustrate how a young person with a low absolute risk may be at a substantially higher and reducible relative risk.
