Cardiovascular diseases are those which affect the structure or functioning of heart and blood vessels involved. Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death globally and leading cause of death in India meanwhile. The objective of this is to determine the patient’s individual risk of getting cardiovascular disease. The risk of an individual person is determined by using QRISK3-2018 risk score.
