This calculator helps predict the 10-year risk of the following hard ASCVD events:
First occurrence of nonfatal myocardial infarction
CHD death
Fatal or nonfatal stroke
This calculator may overestimate risk and a discussion with the patient needs to ensue if there are any questions.
Risk estimates were developed from cohorts primarily comprising White and African American subjects. Risk may be underestimated in Native Americans, Asian Americans of South Asian ancestry, and Puerto Ricans. Risk may be overestimated in Asian Americans of East Asian ancestry and some Mexican Americans.
This calculator has only been validated for ages 40 to 79 years.
