A family health team is reviewing recent guidelines for dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risks. Physician colleagues ask the pharmacist for information on the recommendations for monitoring patients in various categories. Which of the following is the primary assessment tool recommended to quantify a patient’s 10-year risk for total cardiovascular disease?

  1. Framingham risk score

  2. SCORE risk estimator

  3. TIMI risk score

  4. CHADS2 score

The correct answer is: Framingham risk score

The Framingham risk score is the primary assessment tool recommended to quantify a patient's 10-year risk for total cardiovascular disease. The other options, while also risk assessment tools, are not primarily used for this purpose. The SCORE risk estimator is used primarily in Europe for assessing cardiovascular risk in people without existing cardiovascular disease. The TIMI risk score is used to assess short-term risk for acute coronary syndromes. The CHADS2 score is primarily used to assess stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation. Therefore, A is the most appropriate answer for this question.
