ASCVD Risk Calculator

The ASCVD Risk Calculator estimates an individual's 10-year risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which includes conditions like heart attack and stroke. It takes into account factors such as age, gender, race, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, smoking status, and presence of diabetes. By assessing these elements, the calculator helps healthcare providers identify those at higher risk and guide preventive measures, such as lifestyle changes or medications. This tool is valuable for making informed choices about heart health and managing cardiovascular risks effectively.
