RISK TABLES
from 1994 report http://www.cardionet.hr/eng/journal/volume1/guidelines/risk.asp
HOW TO USE THE RISK TABLES
- To determine a person’s absolute 10-year risk of a coronary event (heart attack), identify the table relating to the person’s sex, smoking status, and age.
- Within the table, find the cell nearest to the person’s systolic blood pressure (mmHg) and cholesterol.
- Compare cell colour with key and read the risk level.
- The effect of lifetime exposure to risk factor can be assessed by following the table upwards with increasing age.
- Notice - For patients with coronary heart disease, the level of risk should be increased by at least one category. People with family history of coronary event at an early age, diabetes, or a family history of hyperlipidaemia are also at increased risk.
RISK LEVEL
Percent chance of coronary event in 10 years
