Abstract

The Framingham coronary heart disease (CHD) risk score estimates 10-year risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and CHD death. Because preventive approaches to CHD and stroke are similar, a composite outcome may be more appropriate. We compared 10-year risk of (1) MI or CHD death; and (2) stroke, MI, or CHD death among individuals free of vascular disease.
