Improved Cardiovascular Risk Predictor Developed for Women - CME Teaching Brief® - MedPage Today: "OSTON, Feb. 13 -- Two new risk factors added to the traditional risk model enhanced prediction of a woman's 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease or stroke, researchers reported.

Two versions of the revised model, with validated risk algorithms, reclassified 40% to 50% of women at 10-year risk into higher- or lower-risk categories, according to a report in the Feb. 14 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association."
