Framingham scrapped: Heart Foundation releases new CVD risk calculator and guidelines
The guidelines also include new risk categories and population-specific recommendations.
GPs now have access to revamped CVD prevention guidelines and a risk calculator, with the outdated Framingham-based equation officially consigned to the scrap heap.
The new Australian CVD Risk Calculator — developed by the National Heart Foundation of Australia and endorsed by the RACGP — is a recalibrated version of the contemporary PREDICT-1° algorithm based on a New Zealand primary cohort study.
