Fitheart ASCVD Risk calculator

The ASCVD Risk Estimator application will help health care providers

The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology have provided a series of new cardiovascular prevention guidelines for the assessment of cardiovascular risk, lifestyle modifications that reduce risk, management of elevated blood cholesterol, and management of increased body weight in adults. The information required to estimate ASCVD risk includes age, sex, race, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, blood pressure lowering medication use, diabetes status, and smoking status.

To support the implementation of these guidelines, the new Pooled Cohort Equations CV Risk Calculator App has been developed. The ASCVD Risk Estimator application will help health care providers and patients estimate 10-year and lifetime risks for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
