What is ASCVD?
Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) includes coronary heart disease, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. This calculator estimates your 10-year risk of experiencing an ASCVD event using the Pooled Cohort Equations developed from multiple large-scale studies.
Limitations
- May overestimate risk in some populations
- Does not account for all risk factors (family history, inflammation markers)
- Race options are limited to research validation groups
- Results should be discussed with a healthcare provider
Risk-Enhancing Factors
The following factors may increase risk beyond what the calculator estimates:
- Family history of premature ASCVD
- Metabolic syndrome
- Chronic kidney disease
- Chronic inflammatory conditions
- History of premature menopause
- High-risk ethnic groups
- Elevated triglycerides
- Elevated Lp(a)
- Elevated hs-CRP
