It is estimated that at least 80% of patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) have conventional risk factors and optimization of these risk factors can reduce morbidity and mortality due to this disease considerably. Contemporary women have increased burden of some of these risk factors such as obesity, metabolic syndrome and smoking. Turkish women have a worse CV risk profile than Turkish men in some aspects. Risk stratification systems such as Framingham have a tendency of underestimating the risk in women. Coronary artery disease remains in vessel wall for a longer period of time in women; therefore obstructive disease appear later in their lifespan necessitating risk stratification systems for estimating their lifetime risk.
据估计，至少80%的心血管疾病（CVD）患者具有传统风险因素，优化这些风险因素可显著降低该疾病所致的发病率和死亡率。当代女性承受着肥胖、代谢综合征和吸烟等部分此类风险因素带来的更大负担。在某些方面，土耳其女性的心血管疾病风险状况比土耳其男性更差。像弗雷明汉这样的风险分层系统往往会低估女性的风险。女性冠状动脉疾病在血管壁中存留的时间更长；因此，阻塞性疾病在她们的寿命后期才会出现，这就需要风险分层系统来评估她们的终生风险。
