Description

The risk assessment tool uses information from the Framingham Heart Study to predict a person’s chance of having cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Update:
v 0.4.0 : Corrected typo: should be HDL Cholesterol and not LDL cholesterol

v 0.8.0: Main calculation engine now uses the Framingham equation as described by Anderson (Am H J 1991) and works offline. The value is mathematically derived and not determined by "points" and the result is similar to those derived by the latter means. The program also gives the option to check the "hard" CVD risk (MI and coronary death) by using the NCEP website's calculation engine - for the latter an Internet connection is required.
