Context:

Atherosclerotic diseases represent the primary global cause of mortality and morbidity.
Epidemiologic studies like the Framingham study have enhanced risk identification and preventive strategies.
Cardiovascular risk assessment is critical for public health initiatives.

Purpose:

To outline the significance of atherosclerotic diseases as leading causes of death and disability.
To highlight the role of epidemiologic research in identifying cardiovascular risk factors.
To present the SCORE project's approach to estimating 10-year cardiovascular risk in Europe.

Summary:

Atherosclerotic diseases, encompassing coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, and peripheral arterial disease, are the predominant causes of death and disability worldwide.

Epidemiologic studies have significantly advanced the identification of at-risk populations and modifiable risk factors.

Multivariate risk profiles aid in global cardiovascular risk assessment, with the SCORE project providing direct 10-year risk estimation for European regions.

Effective cardiovascular prevention strategies, particularly the management of arterial hypertension, are emphasized, as many normotensive individuals may require blood pressure reduction due to high cardiovascular risk.

Impact:

Improved identification of individuals at high risk for cardiovascular events.
Enhanced strategies for cardiovascular disease prevention and management.
Facilitation of global risk assessment and targeted public health interventions for hypertension and other risk factors.
