Comparison of Globorisk, SCORE2, and PREVENT in the Stratification of Cardiovascular Risk and its Relationship with End-Organ Damage Among Adults With Arterial Hypertension.

ABSTRACT: Arterial hypertension often coexists with comorbidities that increase vascular damage. Although the primary goal is to reduce cardiovascular risk, the available risk scores can produce varying estimates. Here, we aim to compare the prevalence of cardiovascular risk categories using three equations (Globorisk, SCORE2, and PREVENT) in adults living with arterial hypertension and to assess their association as stratification tools for end-organ damage (EOD). To achieve this, we performed a cross-sectional sub-analysis of the RIHTA study, an electronic health record-based registry of adults with arterial hypertension in Mexican primary care centers. EOD was defined as aortic stiffness, reduced eGFR, hypertensive retinopathy, peripheral artery disease, or left ventricular hypertrophy. Inverse p
