Estimating modifiable coronary heart disease risk in multiple regions of the world: the INTERHEART Modifiable Risk Score
Abstract
AIMS: Summating risk factor burden is a useful approach in the assessment of cardiovascular risk among apparently healthy individuals. We aimed to derive and validate a new score for myocardial infarction (MI) risk using modifiable risk factors, derived from the INTERHEART case-control study (n = 19 470).
