CRITIQUE OF A CARDIOVASCULAR RISK ASSESSMENT TOOL INTRODUCTION. Risk assessment tools to estimate the patient’s 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) should be used to identify high-risk patients for primary prevention. The latest National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidance (2010) does not recommend any particular risk calculator. According to patient (2013) those calculators which are based on the Framingham risk equation may overestimate risk
