10-Year ASCVD Risk = 1 - S₀^exp(ΣβᵢXᵢ - Mean Coefficient), where S₀ is baseline survival, βᵢ are regression coefficients, and Xᵢ are individual risk factor values (log-transformed).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ASCVD risk score?
The ASCVD (Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease) risk score estimates your 10-year risk of having a first cardiovascular event such as heart attack or stroke, using the Pooled Cohort Equations developed by the AHA/ACC.
Who should use this calculator?
This calculator is intended for adults aged 40-79 who have not already had a heart attack or stroke. It is used by clinicians to guide decisions about statin therapy and lifestyle modifications.
What risk levels indicate statin therapy?
Generally, a 10-year risk of 7.5% or higher is the threshold at which clinicians consider moderate-to-high intensity statin therapy. A risk of 5-7.5% (borderline) may warrant a clinician-patient discussion about risk-enhancing factors.
