10-Year ASCVD Risk Calculator

Estimate your 10-year risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) using the Pooled Cohort Equations. This calculator is intended for individuals aged 40-79 years without existing ASCVD.

Understanding Your ASCVD Risk

Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) refers to a group of conditions caused by plaque buildup in the arteries, including heart attack, stroke, and peripheral artery disease. The 10-Year ASCVD Risk Calculator is a tool developed by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to estimate an individual's risk of experiencing a first ASCVD event within the next decade.

Who Should Use This Calculator?

This calculator is primarily intended for adults aged 40-79 years who do not currently have ASCVD (e.g., no history of heart attack, stroke, or stent placement) and are not on statin therapy for existing ASCVD. It helps healthcare providers and patients make informed decisions about preventive strategies, including lifestyle modifications and, if appropriate, statin therapy.

Factors Included in the Calculation:

  • Age: Older age is a significant risk factor.
  • Sex: Risk factors can manifest differently between men and women.
  • Race: African Americans have a higher risk of ASCVD compared to White individuals, even after accounting for traditional risk factors.
  • Total Cholesterol: High levels can contribute to plaque buildup.
  • HDL Cholesterol: Often called "good" cholesterol; higher levels are protective.
  • Systolic Blood Pressure: The top number in a blood pressure reading; high SBP increases risk.
  • Hypertension Treatment: Being on medication for high blood pressure indicates a managed risk factor.
  • Diabetes: A major risk factor that significantly increases ASCVD risk.
  • Smoker: Smoking is a powerful and modifiable risk factor for ASCVD.

Interpreting Your Risk Score:

  • Low Risk (<5%): Generally indicates a low likelihood of an ASCVD event in the next 10 years. Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
  • Borderline Risk (5% to <7.5%): Lifestyle modifications are strongly encouraged. Your doctor might discuss additional risk-enhancing factors.
  • Intermediate Risk (7.5% to <20%): Lifestyle changes are crucial. Your doctor will likely discuss statin therapy, especially if other risk-enhancing factors are present.
  • High Risk (≥20%): Aggressive lifestyle changes and statin therapy are typically recommended to significantly reduce your risk.

Important Disclaimer:

This calculator provides an estimate based on population data and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice. Individual risk factors and health conditions can vary. Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider to discuss your personal ASCVD risk, diagnosis, and treatment options.
