The transformation of the probability of a heart fatality into a queue position.

The population of Bury and Rochdale has a much higher rate of Coronary Heart Disease than the national average. This paper develops an approach, based on the Framingham score method, of making patients aware in a lucid manner of their risk of suffering a fatal heart attack by assigning them a position in a queue of people who are similar to them so far as non-modifiable risk factors are concerned.
