Risk stratification is important for determining the prognosis of subjects at moderate to high cardiovascular risk and various attempts have been made to integrate several clinical variables into a user-friendly risk model. Recently, the ESC has developed a model called SCORE which incorporates age, gender, smoking, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol (or total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio).1 This model does not take into account several other risk factors for cardiovascular disease, which may be relevant for modulating the disease risk, on the grounds that their impact on risk estimation is still uncertain. In the SCORE project article, resting heart rate was not even included in the . . . [Full Text of this Article]
