HeartScore® is the result of a partnership between SCORE and Precard.
The calculation model used in the program is based on the SCORE project (Conroy R.M., Pyörälä K., et al.:"Estimation of ten-year risk of fatal cardiovascular disease in Europe: the SCORE project". European Heart Journal (2003) 24:987-1003) comprising a total of 210.000 individuals. The regional models are based on a calibration of this function to national mortality statistics.
The ESC wishes to extend its thanks to the all the Centres for their collaboration in providing data for the SCORE project.
Our mission: To reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease.
