The Inputs




The Coronary Heart Disease Risk Assessment Tool Input page (entry-page) contains 12 fields. Most Fields default to a negative answer. Make sure to fill all Fields and select the appropriate choices for the particular Patient. An "NA" result on the output page means that some information is missing and that the Risk Assessment might be incomplete.

Risk Assessments
Fields for Risk Factors are color-coded, blue for Major Risk factors and yellow for Framingham Point Scores.

Either all blue or yellow fields must be completed for a complete Risk Assessment.
To generate a CHD-Risk Assessment, including Major Risk Factors and Framingham Point Scores, all fields (blue & yellow) under Risk factors must be completed.

The section of established CHD or CHD Risk Equivalent -on the right of the page- presents 3 fields (CHD, Diabetes Mellitus and Atherosclerotic Disease). If either one of these fields is a "yes", the Major Risk Factors and the Point scores will be computed but the CHD 10-year risk won't, since the Patient already has established CHD or CHD-Risk equivalent. Patient name and Doctor name fields are optional.
