Mobile Lipid Clinic Partners with Scientific Software Tools, Inc. to Develop a
Coronary Heart Disease Risk Assessment Calculator
MEDIA, PA June 22, 2001 - Scientific Software Tools, Inc. (SST) recently delivered to Michael H. Davidson,
M.D. of Mobile Lipid Clinic a Global Risk Assessment Calculator program, a Palm
OS-based tool which allows physicians to evaluate and educate their patients
about Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) risks.
The Global Risk Assessment Calculator, which incorporates the new National
Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel On Detection, Evaluation, and
Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (Adult Treatment Panel III)
guidelines, provides physicians with a unique way to quickly and easily estimate
their patients true cardiovascular risk. By entering patient test results and
history and physical data into the Global Risk Assessment Calculator, physicians
can provide their patient with a statistical evaluation of their equivalent CHD
age, based on the Framingham Heart Study. By communicating these results to the
patient, the physician can reinforce the need and motivate the patient to
improve one's lifestyle and maintain the medication program prescribed by the
physician. The physician can also utilize this data to evaluate the treatment
program for the specified patient.
