Description

Background

One American dies from cardiovascular disease (CVD) every 40 seconds. Risk factor awareness, assessment, and communication has been shown to improve efficacy of patient treatment and also decline overall risk in the population over time. Traditional cardiac risk assessment tools (e.g. Framingham risk assessment, FRA) generate a risk score in a format that may not appreciated or easily understood by all patients. A new patient-centered approach, in which the patient becomes an active participant in the decision-making process, has shown significant increase in patient-provider communication and diagnosis/management.
