In this review of cardiovascular risk estimation, we focus on 4 key aspects:(1) The rationale for estimating cardiovascular risk;(2) a comparison of current cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk-estimation systems;(3) an examination of whether there is any evidence that cardiovascular risk estimation improves patient outcomes; and (4) how CVD risk estimation may change in the future. Some of the material presented is derived from a recent general review of cardiovascular risk scores1 that we have used to underpin the present, more focused discussion.
