Estimate ten year cardiovascular risk from standard risk factors.
Cardiovascular risk models are multiplicative, so risk factors compound rather than add. Age dominates the calculation, which is why absolute risk rises steeply even with unchanged risk factors. Heart age communicates risk more effectively than a percentage for many people, which is why official tools now report it alongside the risk figure.
QRISK / ASCVD Risk
Risk rises multiplicatively with age, blood pressure, cholesterol ratio, smoking and diabetes
This reproduces a published formula for educational and reference use only. It is not a diagnostic tool, does not account for individual clinical context, and must not be used to make or change treatment decisions. Clinical assessment by a qualified healthcare professional is always required. This is a simplified approximation, not the validated QRISK or ASCVD models, which require population-specific calibration and additional variables. Use the official tool for your region and discuss results with a clinician. Do not start or stop medication based on this estimate.
