Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in all over the world, prediction of future risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a crucial tool for primary prevention of CVD. Objectives: To determine the risk of cardiovascular disease by implementation of QRISK3 prediction algorithms in individual patients. This study is performed to assess the cardiovascular risk for the next 10 years in an individual patient without known cardiac disease. Methods: A prospective study is conducted in department of medicine, tertiary care hospital. This study uses the updated QRISK3-risk score method to analyze the person’s risk of getting cardiovascular risk. Results: A total of 175 patients with age groups 25-84 years were enrolled in the study. Majority of the patients was 41-50 years age group with male predominance. Body mass index (BMI) was high (25 or >) found in 73.7% patients, 51.4% were non-smokers, 36% diabetics, 41.2% hypertensive, 18.3% rheumatoid arthritis and 11.4% were suffering for chronic kidney disease. Conclusion: Cardiovascular risk increases with increasing age and association of other co morbidities mainly obesity, diabetes and hypertension.
