I have used other Framingham Risk calculators, and now am using PEER Simplified Cardiovascular Decision Aid which seems to give a higher risk score than most calculators. Why the difference in scores? Which should we use? I remember reading in the past that Framingham Risk tends to over estimate risk, and if PEER gives a higher risk, is it really correct to use it? Your thoughts and advice are appreciated.
