Summary
Enter age, total cholesterol, HDL, systolic blood pressure, smoking status, and diabetes to estimate your 10-year cardiovascular disease risk using the Framingham point-score algorithm.
How it works
- Select your biological sex (male or female) — the Framingham algorithm uses separate scoring tables for each.
- Enter your age in years (30–79 is the validated range).
- Enter your total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol values in mg/dL.
- Enter your systolic blood pressure in mmHg and indicate whether you are currently on blood pressure treatment.
- Check "Current smoker" if you smoke cigarettes and "Diabetes" if you have a diabetes diagnosis.
- The 10-year CVD risk percentage and risk category update instantly as you fill in the fields.
Use cases
- Estimate personal 10-year cardiovascular risk before a doctor's appointment.
- Understand how cholesterol, blood pressure, and smoking each contribute to heart risk.
- Track how lifestyle changes (quitting smoking, lowering cholesterol) reduce estimated CVD risk over time.
- Support clinical decision-making for initiating statin therapy or antihypertensive treatment.
- Educate patients on modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
- Compare risk between treated and untreated hypertension scenarios.
