[citation needed] The SCORE risk estimation is based on the following risk factors: gender, age, smoking, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and estimates fatal cardiovascular disease events over a ten-year period.
[citation needed] HeartScore is one of the tools developed to implement the 2007 European guidelines on CVD prevention in clinical practice.
Translated versions now exist in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia, Romania and Croatia.
