The NHMRC has just approved the first Australian Guidelines for the assessment of absolute cardiovascular disease risk. These guidelines "reflect a person’s ‘individualised’ risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), as opposed to the traditional method that considers various risk factors, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure, in isolation."
The guidelines are aimed at general practitioners, Indigenous health workers and other primary health care professionals to assist them in assessing the absolute risk of cardiovascular disease in adults without known cardiovascular disease.
The link above will also take you to a useful quick reference guide, risk charts and a risk calculator, as well as some useful patient fact sheets.
