    In recent years, despite increasing awareness about cardiovascular diseases and fighting with cardiovascular risk factors still this diseases is the most important cause of death in developed and developing countries. Serious differences in mortality rates of view between countries, some studies showed that cardiovascular disease incidence is lesser in people without cardiovascular risk factors, even showing with only lifestyle changes reduced incidence of cardiovascular disease, this topic has made the situation even more is spoken on. Risk of cardiovascular disease, increases in direct proportion with the increase of risk factors. Using a combination of risk factors for cardiovascular risk of individuals, we can predict the cardiovascular risk in the future. The first presentation of coronary artery disease is sudden death by 20% and acute coronary syndrome by 80%. Therefore it is important to try to predict the cardiovascular risk. Cardiovascular risk models were created to provide this insight.
