The PREDICT-CVD is a new score, which suggests that not all patients with CVD are at uniformly high risk of experiencing a subsequent CVD event. In addition to established risk factors for primary prevention, the score includes ethnicity, heart failure, the severity of the prior CVD event (MI or stroke), body mass index, creatinine, and lipid and blood pressure-lowering treatment. The full equation and an example of how it is calculated are included in the study.
