Estimated 10-Year Cardiovascular Risk

Risk Factor Summary
Clinical note: This calculator implements the D'Agostino et al. 2008 general-CVD lipid model for adults aged 30–74 without prior cardiovascular disease. It is an educational estimate, not a treatment rule or substitute for a current clinician-selected risk model.
Summary
This tool implements the D'Agostino et al. 2008 lipid-based Framingham model for 10-year general cardiovascular disease risk. Its composite outcome includes coronary events, stroke or TIA, peripheral arterial disease, and heart failure. Predictors are age, sex, total and HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure and treatment status, smoking, and diabetes. It is not the older hard-CHD model or a current treatment recommendation.
How it works
- Select your biological sex and enter your age (30–74 years).
- Enter your total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol values (mg/dL or mmol/L).
- Enter your systolic blood pressure and indicate whether you take blood pressure medication.
- Select smoking and diabetes status.
- Click Calculate to see your estimated 10-year cardiovascular risk percentage and risk category.
Use cases
- Review a historical general-CVD risk estimate with a clinician.
- Motivate lifestyle changes by quantifying the impact of smoking or untreated hypertension.
- Support clinical conversations between patients and primary care providers.
- Compare risk before and after controlling blood pressure or cholesterol.
- Screen adults with no known cardiovascular disease for preventive interventions.
- Reproduce the published model for adults aged 30–74 within its stated scope.
