This table represents the relationships of committee members with industry and other entities that were reported by the authors as relevant to this topic during the document development process. It does not necessarily reflect relationships with industry at the time of publication. A person is deemed to have a significant interest in a business if the interest represents ownership of 5% or more of the voting stock or share of the business entity, or ownership of $10 000 or more of the fair market value of the business entity; or if funds received by the person from the business entity exceed 5% of the person's gross income for the previous year. A relationship is considered to be modest if it is less than significant under the preceding definition. Relationships in this table are modest unless otherwise noted. * Significant (greater than $10 000) relationship.

Appendix C Appendix D Appendix E Appendix F CHD score sheet for men using total cholesterol or LDL-C categories. Uses age, total cholesterol (or LDL-C), HDL-C, blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking. Estimates risk for CHD over a period of 10 years based on Framingham experience in men 30 to 74 years of age at baseline. Average risk estimates are based on typical Framingham subjects, and estimates of idealized risk are based on optimal blood pressure, total cholesterol 160 to 199 mg/dL (or LDL-C 100 to 129 mg/dL), HDL-C of 45 mg/dL in men, no diabetes, and no smoking. Use of the LDL-C categories is appropriate when fasting LDL-C measurements are available. Risk estimates were derived from the experience of the Framingham Heart Study, a predominantly white population in Massachusetts. CHD indicates cardiovascular heart diease; chol, cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; and Pts, patients. Adapted from Wilson et al (50), with permission from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Copyright 1998, American Heart Association. *Hard CHD events exclude angina pectoris. **Low risk was calculated for a person the same age, optimal blood pressure, LDL-C 100–129 mg/dL or cholesterol 160–199 mg/dL. HDL-C 45 mg/dL for men or 55 mg/dL for women, nonsmoker, no diabetes. Appendix G Appendix H
