Abstract
Background: In Europe the multifactorial clinical approach to the prevention of coronary heart disease is based on the Framingham equation presented in graphical form including age, sex, level of total serum cholesterol, systolic blood pressure and smoking.
Objective: To propose a straightforward paper-and-pencil score (Global Coronary Risk Score) including level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol for the Belgian or more broadly western European population derived from 10-year follow-up mortality of a Belgian national population sample.
Results: This score has the same predictive power as the Framingham equation both for men aged 35-74 years and for women aged 50-74 years. It gives a ranking of subjects into four groups according to their relative risks.
Conclusion: Coronary Risk Score is user friendly and probably has pedagogical virtues.
