ASCVD (Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease) risk calculator

The ASCVD risk calculator estimates the chance that someone will experience a heart attack or stroke within the next 10 years. It considers factors like age, gender, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, smoking status, and whether they have diabetes. The goal is to identify individuals at higher risk so that healthcare providers can recommend lifestyle changes or medications to prevent serious cardiovascular events. It’s a useful tool for guiding personalized prevention strategies, helping patients understand their risk in a clear, evidence-based way.
