Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

#Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

The risk of developing heart, stroke or blood vessel disease (cardiovascular disease) in the next five years (10 years for the US calculator).

Clinically determined automatic high risk:
- People with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease (sustained eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m^2).
- Familial hypercholesterolaemia.

Calculate the risk using:
(-) Australia: www.cvdcheck.org.au
(-) UK: https://qrisk.org/three/
(-) USA: http://static.heart.org/riskcalc/app/index.html#!/baseline-risk

^ = Optional, not required for calculators
