CKD-EPI equation for glomerular filtration rate
Calculation
Please enter all the required inputs.
The ASCVD calculator estimates the 10-year risk of heart attack or stroke in adults aged 40-79 based on factors like age, cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking. It follows ACC/AHA guidelines to aid decisions on preventive measures, including statin use.
It is not validated for those under 40 or over 79, overestimates risk in elderly or lower-risk groups, and underestimates in those with chronic inflammation or family history. It excludes factors like coronary calcium score and must be used alongside clinical judgment.
