The 2013 ASCVD Risk Calculator is a vital tool for estimating the 10-year risk of heart disease or stroke. Developed by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA), this calculator helps healthcare providers assess cardiovascular risk and guide management strategies.

The ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus helps clinicians implement guideline-recommended risk equations to facilitate clinician-patient discussion and support decision making to optimize care and lower risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).

ASCVD stands for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, defined as a nonfatal myocardial infarction (heart attack), coronary heart disease death, or stroke. The purpose of the Pooled Cohort Equations is to estimate the risk of ASCVD within a 10-year period among patients who have never had one of these events in the past.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, otherwise known as ASCVD, is caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls and refers to conditions that include: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), such as myocardial infarction, angina, and coronary artery stenosis.

Heart attack and stroke are usually caused by atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). ASCVD develops because of a build-up of sticky cholesterol-rich plaque. Over time, this plaque can harden and narrow the arteries.

Determines 10-year risk of hard ASCVD, i.e. myocardial infarction, stroke, or death due to coronary heart disease or stroke, and provides statin recommendations.

ASCVD, or Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease, is caused by the buildup of plaque within the arteries, limiting the flow of blood to important organs.

The updated ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus uses up-to-date ACC clinical policy and user feedback to help a clinician and patient build a customized risk lowering plan by estimating and monitoring change in 10 year ASCVD risk.

ASCVD is caused by buildup in the arteries and it increases the possibility of heart disease and stroke. These key steps can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce your risk of ASCVD, heart disease and stroke. Know your risk. The first step is knowing your risk of a cardiac event.

Mar 17, 2019 · Primary ASCVD prevention requires attention to ASCVD risk factors beginning early in life . This guideline addresses major issues related to cholesterol management and primary ASCVD prevention, which are also addressed in the recently published 2018 Cholesterol Clinical Practice Guidelines.
