  1. The ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus helps clinicians implement guideline-recommended risk equations to facilitate clinician-patient discussion and support decision making to optimize care and lower risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).

  2. Our ASCVD Risk Algorithm is a step-wise approach for all adult patients – including those with known ASCVD. This calculator is for use only in adult patients without known ASCVD and LDL 70-189 mg/dL (1.81-4.90 mmol/L). This calculator only applies to individuals 40-75 years of age.

    ASCVD stands for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, defined as a nonfatal myocardial infarction (heart attack), coronary heart disease death, or stroke. The purpose of the Pooled Cohort Equations is to estimate the risk of ASCVDwithin a 10-year period among patients who have never had one of these events in the past.

    The Pooled Cohort Equations were developed and validated among Caucasian and African American men and women who did not have clinical ASCVD. There are inadequate data in other racial groups, such as Hispanics, Asians, and American-Indian populations. Given the lack of data, current guidelines suggest to use the "Caucasian" race to estimate 10-year ...

    The 2019 ACC/AHA guidelines recommend either a high-intensity or moderate-intensity statin regimen in patients who have an elevated ASCVD risk (≥ 5-7.5%) for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. The recommended doses for each of these regimens are shown below:

    The Pooled Cohort Risk Assessment Equations was developed by the Risk Assessment Work Group, an arm of the ACC/AHA Cardiovascular Risk Guidelines, to identify appropriate candidates for statin therapy based on elevated cardiovascular risk.1Statistical modeling to create a new risk assessment tool was developed using a variety of participants from s...

    In individuals aged 20 to 59 years of age, a lifetime risk assessment is mentioned by guidelines (with a 'low' strength of evidence).1 A long-term risk assessment may be more accurate in younger individuals free from ASCVD (eg, 20 to 59 years old). This lifetime estimation was based on a paper published in 2006 that was developed by assigning a pat...

  4. This calculator is intended for people between the ages of 40 and 79. It helps predict your risk over 10 years of heart attack, stroke, or death from cardiovascular disease. Your doctor can help you understand your personal risk and how to interpret your results.

  5. This calculator is intended for primary prevention patients (those without coronary heart disease, stroke, or heart failure) who are between the ages of 30-79 years. Estimating absolute risk may assist and guide clinicians and patients in shared decision-making for interventions targeting lifestyle behaviors and consideration of pharmacotherapies.

  6. Nov 10, 2023 · The new American Heart Association PREVENT TM risk calculator estimates the 10- and 30-year risk of total cardiovascular disease for people aged 30 years and older. The calculator estimates the risk of heart attack, stroke and — for the first time — heart failure.
