Abstract
Newer versions of the risk functions encapsulate a more comprehensive view of cardiovascular risk and, with computerization, will become more versatile and easier to use. In the very near future, the process of estimating cardiovascular risk using risk functions will change as it becomes possible to substitute one variable for another, as new versions based on age and life-expectancy are developed, and as patients share greater responsibility for their own health.
