The Framingham congestive-heart-failure score can be used to diagnose heart failure and monitor its response to treatment.[1]
Calculation of the score
- Major findings (1 point each)
- Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea
- Abdominojugular test positive
- Third heart sound present
- Basal crackles
- Minor findings (0.5 point each)
- Orthopnea
- Reduction in exercise tolerance
- Resting heart rate > 100 bpm
- Hepatomegaly
- Peripheral edema
Clinical uses of the score
The score can be used (two major or one major and two minor criteria) to diagnose heart failure.[1]
The score can also be used to monitor the response to treatment for heart failure. Targeting a clinical score to a score of 2 or less may[2] or may[3] not be similar to targeting brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level.
