QIM 8 – Cardiovascular Risk

Assessment of absolute CVD risk based on multiple risk factors is more accurate than that based on individual risk factors due to the cumulative nature of risk effects. Basing patient

management decisions on this approach should improve CVD outcomes.

  • Diabetes status: Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes
  • Diabetes risk: Fasting Glucose Test result, or a screening for glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c test result)
