Cardiovascular risk stratification system for people with diabetes mellitus for – based on the ESC Diabetes guideline

Abstract

The guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases recommend the use of the SCORE2 risk index instead of the classic SCORE risk index to calculate the cardiovascular risk -specifically, ten-year fatal and nonfatal risk- in a healthy population under the age of 70 years. Individuals with 2-type diabetes mellitus are at a two- to four-fold higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). Many patients with cardiovascular disease have undiagnosed diabetes mellitus. SCORE2-Diabetes, a new algorithm developed, calibrated, and validated to predict 10-year risk of CVD in individuals with type 2 diabetes, enhances identification of individuals at higher risk of developing CVD across Europe.
