Abstract

While imaging is clearly important its use is likely to be useful after decades of exposure to risk factors and still provides assessment for short-to intermediate-term risk.Recently, a lifetime-perspective CardioVascular Disease (LIFE-CVD) model for the estimation of treatment-effects of cholesterol-lowering, blood pressure lowering, antithrombotic therapy, and smoking cessation in apparently healthy people has been developed.This freely accessible online calculator (www.U-Prevent.com)estimates risk and treatment effects in terms of improved 10year risk, lifetime risk, and life-expectancy free of CVD and is designed to facilitate doctor-patient communication.(6) Large trials of pharmacological intervention assessing outcomes over CARDIO-VASCULAR PREVENTION
