Heart Disease Risk Calculator
Estimate Your 10-Year Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Introduction
Heart disease is a serious condition that can lead to disability and premature death. By inputting key patient data, including age, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and smoking status, clinicians can use this tool to help you estimate your risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) within the next 10 years.
How to Use the Calculator
To use the calculator, simply input your age, total cholesterol, HDL (good) cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, blood pressure, and smoking status. The calculator will then generate an estimate of your 10-year risk for CVD.
Results
The results of the calculator are displayed as a percentage. A higher percentage indicates a higher risk for CVD. The calculator also provides information on how to reduce your risk for CVD, including lifestyle changes and medications.
Disclaimer
This calculator is only an estimate of your risk for developing CVD. It is not a substitute for medical advice. Please see your doctor if you have any concerns about your risk for CVD.
