Abstract
The new ACC/AHA cardiovascular-risk guidelines feature updated equations for women, distinct equations for African–American individuals, and include stroke prediction. However, the equations rely on the same traditional risk factors as previous versions, are driven predominantly by age, and curtail the intermediate-risk group, in which personalized risk assessment is recommended.Entities:
