ACC = American College of Cardiology; AHA = American Heart Association; ASCVD = atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; ATPIII = Adult Treatment Panel III; CHD = coronary heart disease; CVD = cardiovascular disease; FRS = Framingham risk score.

*

Never-treated participants did not receive aspirin or lipid-lowering or antihypertensive medication at baseline or at any of the 5 follow-up visits and did not have coronary revascularization. The Reynolds Risk Score was excluded from this analysis because revascularization was part of the end point.

Percentage discordance calculation: ([{expected percentage − observed percentage}/observed percentage] × 100).
