  1. How can you estimate simply the cardiovascular risk of your patients?

  2. The SCORE CHARTSytematicCOronaryRisk Evaluation • Resting heart rate (RHR) an important and independent risk factor for CVD. • Inclusion of resting heart rate in a risk estimation system for primary prevention. (eg, SCORE) may be beneficial. • SCORE is a risk estimation system recommended by the European guidelines on CVD prevention. • SCORE1 estimates 10-year CVD mortality risk based on gender, age, country of origin, total cholesterol, smoking status, and systolic blood pressure.

  3. Simple resting HR formula (age, gender, smoking, BMI, and resting HR) • There is increasing interest in the use of risk estimation systems, which use only easily • measured variables. • II. RHR is particularly suitable for inclusion in this type of risk estimation system: • RHR us an important and independent risk factor for CVD • It is a measure, which is simple and inexpensive to obtain • III.The National FINRISK study, a prospective population-based observational study, was the data set used for the derivation of a new simple chart for estimation of 10-year percentage risk of cardiovascular disease mortality including RHR1 1.

  5. Clinical implications • Resting heart rate is simple to measure and inexpensive to obtain • Heart rate could be routinely measured in the assessment of CVD risk. • Simple CV risk estimation system using resting heart rate enhances cost-effectiveness and accessibility of risk estimation Cooney MT et al.
