The narrowing of the coronary artery leading to a myocardial infarction, usually develops over several years. An increased risk of myocardial infarction can be estimated using [http://www.escardio.org/initiatives/prevention/prevention-tools/SCORE-Risk-Charts.htm SCORE system] which is developed by the European Society of cardiology (ESC).

===Risk assessment of ischemia=== | |||
An [[Exercise Testing|exercise test]] such as a bicycle or treadmilltest, may be usefull in detecting myocardial ischemia after exercise.<cite>accexercise</cite> In such a test, a continuous ECG registration is performed during exercise. The ST-segment, blood pressure asnd clinical status of the patient (i.e. chest complaints) are monitorered during and after the test. | An [[Exercise Testing|exercise test]] such as a bicycle or treadmilltest, may be usefull in detecting myocardial ischemia after exercise.<cite>accexercise</cite> In such a test, a continuous ECG registration is performed during exercise.
