Article Synopsis
- Recent guidelines suggest assessing lifetime cardiovascular risk in adults not at high short-term risk, focusing on a large occupational cohort in Spain.
- The study involved a national cross-sectional analysis of 259,834 volunteer workers examined in 2011, using established risk assessment tools from the ACC, AHA, QRISK2, and QRISK.
- Findings revealed that while 6.85% to 20.83% of individuals were at high short-term risk, a significant portion classified as not high risk were identified as having high lifetime risk, indicating important implications for treatment and lifestyle interventions.
