Notes
  • 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. The calculator cannot tell for sure whether you will have a cardiovascular event.
  • This calculator was developed based on data from primarily white and African American people. If you are of a different background, the calculator may underestimate or overestimate your risk.
  • Systolic blood pressure is the top number (eg, 120 if blood pressure is 120/80).
  • ACC: American College of Cardiology; AHA: American Heart Association; HDL: high-density lipoprotein.

 
Equations used
 
Below is the math that this calculator used to get the result.
 
Terms = (C_Age * ln(Age)) + (C_Sq_Age * sq(ln(Age))) + (C_Total_Chol * ln(Total_cholesterol)) + (C_Age_Total_Chol * ln(Age) * ln(Total_cholesterol)) + (C_HDL_Chol * ln(HDL_cholesterol)) + (C_Age_HDL_Chol * ln(Age) * ln(HDL_cholesterol)) + (Do you take blood pressure medication? * C_Do you take blood pressure medication?s * ln(Systolic blood pressure)) + (Do you take blood pressure medication? * C_Age_Do you take blood pressure medication?s * ln(Age) * ln(Systolic blood pressure)) + (not Do you take blood pressure medication? * C_Off_Hypertension_Meds * ln(Systolic blood pressure)) + (not Do you take blood pressure medication? * C_Age_Off_Hypertension_Meds * ln(Age) * ln(Systolic blood pressure)) + (C_Do you smoke cigarettes? * Do you smoke cigarettes?) + (C_Age_Do you smoke cigarettes? * ln(Age) * Do you smoke cigarettes?) + (C_Do you have diabetes? * Do you have diabetes?)
Risk = 100 * (1 - S10e(Terms-Mean_Terms))
