    Framingham Risk Score for Hard Coronary Heart Disease

    Estimates 10-year risk of heart attack.

    INSTRUCTIONS

    There are several distinct Framingham risk models. MDCalc uses the 'Hard' coronary Framingham outcomes model, which is intended for use in non-diabetic patients age 30-79 years with no prior history of coronary heart disease or intermittent claudication, as it is the most widely applicable to patients without previous cardiac events. See the official Framingham website for additional Framingham risk models.

    When to Use
    Pearls/Pitfalls
    • Patients aged 30-79 years with no prior history of coronary heart disease.
    • Do not use in patients with intermittent claudication or diabetes.
    The Framingham data, while thorough, come from many years ago with a potentially different US population along with a different diet and level of smoking as well, which may suggest different risk levels today.
