TL;DR: A sex-specific multivariable risk factor algorithm can be conveniently used to assess general CVD risk and risk of individual CVD events (coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial disease and heart failure) and can be used to quantify risk and to guide preventive care.

TL;DR: CVD awareness has increased significantly among women since 1997, yet the racial/ethnic gap in awareness has not narrowed, and educational efforts to increase heart disease and stroke awareness should be targeted to racial/ ethnic minorities, especially Hispanics.
