Prediction of coronary events in a low incidence population. Assessing accuracy of the CUORE Cohort Study prediction equation

Abstract

The CUORE Project predictive equation showed better accuracy of the FHS and PROCAM equations, overcoming frequently reported risk overestimates. The CUORE equation may be adopted to identify men with high coronary risk in Italy.
