Through its Prevention programmes, the ESC has developped several educational materials and decision making tools to support health professionals in their daily practice.
Guidelines & risk assessment and management tools
- European Guidelines for CVD Prevention in Clinical Practice
The prevention guidelines recommend a new model for total risk estimation based on the SCORE (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation) system and define the lifestyle, risk factor and therapeutic targets for cardiovascular disease prevention.
- European SCORE Risk Charts (Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation)
Risk assessment charts (high & low cardiovascular risk) based on gender, age, total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure and smoking status.
- HeartScore®
Interactive tool derived from the CVD Prevention Guidelines and the Score Risk Charts. HeartScore® combines risk prediction with management advices, to support clinicians in optimising individual cardiovascular risk reduction.
