Topical issues of cardiovascular risk scales application in cardiovascular disease clinical practice

Abstract

Cardiovascular risk assessment is an important and integral diagnostic stage for any cardiac patient. Despite the constant improvement of existing cardiovascular risk scales, many additional cardiovascular disease factors are still unaccounted. This review evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of using current scales, and examines the prognostic prospects for adding factors such as ongoing therapy, regional affiliation, socioeconomic status, and mental state.

Updating and improving cardiovascular risk scales is aimed at a patient-centered, personalized clinical approach.

Keywords:cardiovascular risk; scale; atherosclerosis; SCORE 2; CAD; patient-oriented approach
