This tool is based on the thirty-plus year experience of men and women who participated in the Framingham Heart Study, which is probably the best-known study of its kind.
It is designed to help you assess your risk of developing Coronary Heart Disease over the next 10 years if you are between the ages of 30 and 74. It is important to note that the tool does not take into account all CHD risk factors —most notably family history—which may compromise the results. Another drawback is that it is based on a largely white population; however, some studies have indicated that the results are applicable to African-Americans and other non-white populations.

Before using the tool, you will need to know your:
* Blood pressure
* Total cholesterol level
* HDL-cholesterol level
Like any assessment tool, a positive result does not mean you have the condition; it simply means you are likely to benefit from further evaluation by your doctor.
