Differences in estimates for ten-year risk of cardiovascular disease in Black versus white persons with identical risk factor profiles using pooled cohort equations
2021-04-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Sex- and race-specific pooled cohort equations (PCE) are recommended for estimating the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), with an absolute risk >7.5% indicating a clinical decision threshold. <h4>Methods</h4> We generated in silico 30,565 risk profiles in men and 29,515 in women by combining numerical (age, total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, systolic blood pressure) and...
