Popis:	Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main cause of mortality and disability in India. Early and sustained exposure to behavioral risk factors leads to development of CVD. The present study was conducted to compare different cardiovascular calculators for CVD risk assessment models in young Indian patients presenting with myocardial infarction.Methods: This study included 85 patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Their predicted 10-year risk of CVD was calculated using three clinically most relevant risk assessment models viz. Framingham Risk score (RiskFRS), American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (RiskACC/AHA) and the 3rd Joint British Societies risk calculator (RiskJBS).Results: RiskFRS recognized the highest number of patients (15.4%) at high CVD risk while RiskACC/AHA and RiskJBS calculators provided inferior risk assessment but statistically significant relationship. RiskFRS and RiskACC/AHA (Pearson's r 0.870, p
