cbs11tv.com - New Tool May Better Predict Women's Heart Disease

Reynolds Risk Score

cbs11tv.com - New Tool May Better Predict Women's Heart Disease: "The new risk model, called Reynolds Risk Score, measures a women's level of risk for a heart attack or stroke in 10 years. The seven questions include age, whether you smoke, blood pressure and cholesterol. The new test also has information about C-reactive protein and family history."

Heart disease symptoms in women are much harder to detect but the results of heart disease are at least as fatal to women as a group. Everyone should pay attention to this new test.
