2023 AHA PREVENT Equations — 10- and 30-Year CVD Risk
The PREVENT equations replace the Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE) and incorporate kidney function, metabolic markers, and social determinants. For ages 30–79 without prior ASCVD.
Range: 30–79
Optional — enhances risk estimate in diabetic patients
Optional — urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio
Key Differences from Pooled Cohort Equations
- Kidney function: Incorporates eGFR and optionally UACR as primary risk enhancers.
- Metabolic health: HbA1c provides more nuanced diabetes risk assessment than binary DM status.
- Race-free: Does not use race as a variable — addresses health equity concerns of the prior PCE model.
- Broader outcomes: Predicts total CVD (ASCVD + HF) rather than only atherosclerotic events.
- Age range: Validated for ages 30–79 (vs. 40–79 for PCE).
