Description
The ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus app uses advice from the 2019 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease and other respected publications to help patients and clinicians build a plan to lower risk of heart disease and heart attacks. The app is not designed to replace clinical care but rather to support it and help guide discussion and action for doctors and patients.
Overview
The Risk Estimator Plus allows users to input all of their information – including age, ethnicity, blood pressure, cholesterol, and more. This information allows the app to estimate the risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) and provide useful information to the patient and clinician.
