What is the purpose of the study Development and validation of improved algorithms for the assessment of global cardiovascular risk in women?
The purpose of this study was to develop and validate improved algorithms for the assessment of global cardiovascular risk in women. This was accomplished by utilizing the Reynolds Risk Score, which was compared to the Stroke Risk Profile, Framingham Stroke Risk Function, European Stroke Prediction, and Ischemic Heart Disease Project, as well as the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study. The study aimed to refine the existing algorithms in order to better predict and assess global cardiovascular risk in women.
