Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death and disability worldwide [1]. The role of preventive medicine in reducing the burden of CVD tends to grow because prevention is better than cure. Early detection of atherosclerotic findings potentially prevents the disease from progressing and reduces the risk of complications. Different models of risk-assessment calculator have been validated to estimate CVD risk and guide primary prevention strategy in individuals free from CVD. The Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) is a risk calculator integrated within European Society of Cardiology (ESC) prevention guidelines since 2003 [2].
