The CardioRisk project: Improvement of cardiovascular risk assessment

Abstract

The CardioRisk project addresses the coronary artery disease (CAD), namely, the management of myocardial infarction (MI) patients. The main goal is the development of personalized clinical models for cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment of acute events (e.g., death and new hospitalization), in order to stratify patients according to their care needs. This paper presents an overview of the scientific and technological issues that are under research and development.
