Systematic review found most ML algorithms improved CVD risk prediction compared with Framingham Risk Score by incorporating sociodemographic predictors and modeling non-linear interactions.

A systematic review published 12 September 2026 searched three databases to 1 January 2025 and included 29 studies that directly compared machine learning CVD risk predictions with the Framingham Risk Score in healthy adults. Twenty-three studies reported improved predictive ability, often by adding sociodemographic predictors absent from FRS or costly diagnostics such as CT angiography.
