Framingham Risk Score Calculator
Introduction & Importance
The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) is a prediction tool developed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to estimate a person’s 10-year risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD). Calculating the FRS by hand is crucial for understanding your heart health and making informed decisions about your lifestyle and medical care.
