Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In this commentary, we discuss the potential utility of low-cost screening algorithms for the prediction of risk for cardiovascular disease. Strategies such as these might enhance screening and prevention programs but require validation. Testing the usefulness of low-cost prediction models in developing regions is the next logical step in carrying this concept forward.
