PURPOSE. To analyze the concept of risk in relation to coronary heart disease (CHD) among Filipino‐Americans (FAs) and provide a new definition of risk. SOURCE. Published literature. CONCLUSION. This concept analysis provided a new meaning of risk in relation to CHD among FAs and shed light on further understanding of risk. Risk has been laced with negativity in health care, but based on the current literature, risk can be conceptualized in a positive perspective, especially in the area of chronic health disease such as CHD. However, further research is needed in the conceptualization of risk related to CHD for consistency, adequacy, and meaning.
