Estimate patient’s 10-year ASCVD risk at an initial visit to establish a reference point. Forecast the potential impact of different interventions on patient risk. Reassess ASCVD risk at follow-up visits. Follow up risk incorporates change in risk factor levels over time and requires both initial and follow up values.

The 2013 ASCVD Risk Calculator is a vital tool for estimating the 10-year risk of heart disease or stroke. Developed by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA), this calculator helps healthcare providers assess cardiovascular risk and guide management strategies.

For the primary prevention of clinical ASCVD* in adults 40 to 75 years of age without diabetes and with LDL-C 70 to 189 mg/dL (1.7 to 4.8 mmol/L), the 10-year ASCVD risk of a first "hard" ASCVD event (fatal and non-fatal MI or stroke) should be estimated using the race and sex-specific Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE) and adults should be ...

The Pooled Cohort Equations should be used to estimate 10-year ASCVD risk for individuals with LDL-C 70 to 189 mg/dL without clinical ASCVD to guide initiation of statin therapy for the primary prevention of ASCVD.

ascvd_10y_accaha ACC/AHA 2013 ASCVD risk score Description Computes 10-year risk for hard ASCVD event (defined as first occurrence of non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), congestive heart disease (CHD) death, or fatal or nonfatal stroke). Usage ascvd_10y_accaha(race = "white", gender = c("male", "female"), age, totchol, hdl, sbp, bp_med ...

These equations predict 10-year risk of a first atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) event, such as a stroke or myocardial infarction. The 2017 American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association blood pressure guideline recommends using 10-year predicted atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk to guide the decision to ...

ASCVD (Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease) Risk Algorithm including Known ASCVD from AHA/ACC function Description. This function implements the ASCVD score calculation as a vector Scored using 3 steps Step 1: High-Risk Criteria: History of ASCVD

Cardiovascu-lar risk scores are statistical tools used to assess an individual's likelihood of developing a cardio-vascular disease based on various risk factors, such as age, gender, blood pressure, choles-terol levels, and smoking. Here we bring together the six most commonly used in the emer-gency department.

The updated ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus uses recent science and user feedback to help a clinician and patient build a customized risk lowering plan by estimating and monitoring change in 10 year ASCVD risk.
