Coronary artery disease (CAD) and cerebral vascular accident (CVA) are very common and are the commonest causes of mortality in the developed countries.Research objectives: Determining the risk predictive rate of CAD and CVA by the ramingham score in the population of Quang Binh province. Methods: This is a descriptive study on 740 people from 12 communes/ towns of 4 districts/cities in Quang Binh province. The authors use the Framingham score was used to predict the risk of CAD and CVA in 5 years and 10 years. Results: The risk predictive rates of CAD in 5 years were: 95 percent for low
4.2 percent for medium, and 0.81 percent for high risk
in 10 years: 80.3 percent for low, 14.6 percent for medium and 5.1 percent for high risk. The risk predictive rates of CVA in 5 years were 99.9 percent for low and 0.1 percent for high risk
in 10 years were 96.8 percent for low, 3 percent for medium and 0.3 percent for high risk. The levels of risk predictive rates of CAD and CVA were related to the factors such as age, sex (male), hypertension, smoking, diabetes, obesity and dyslipidemia. Condusions: Framingham score was very useful for predicting the risk of CAD and CVA in 5 and 10 years in the population of Quang Binh province.
