Lipidaholics: Case # 245 has been posted at my Lipidaholics Group site. Click on groups above, go to Dayspring and then Lipidaholics Group and see how you stack up in estimating CHD risk inb a 50 year old woman. Ad your comments.
As always, an excellent discussion. Highlights the underestimation of lifetime risk in individuals when FRS is used. The article in JACC discussing the differences in presentation , pathophysiology between the sexes, Ischemic heart disease, less obstructive disease, and "false positive" treadmills ties in nicely with this case.
