ASCVD Risk 2.0

The "Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Risk Assessment Tool," based on the 2013 Pooled Cohort Risk Equations, reflects the latest recommendations from the ACC/AHA guidelines. This algorithm estimates the 10-year primary risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in patients aged 40 to 79 years without existing cardiovascular disease. Additionally, it facilitates calculations of traditional risk scores such as the Framingham Risk Score, NCEP, Metabolic Syndrome, BMI, and GFR.

The ASCVD Risk App is integrated within MediCalc®, a comprehensive medical calculator platform recognized worldwide for its extensive and regularly updated database. It automates the calculation of over 450 clinical formulas, equations, and scoring systems commonly utilized in clinical practice.
