About this calculator
Estimates the 10-year risk of a first atherosclerotic cardiovascular event: heart attack, coronary death or stroke. For adults aged 40 to 79 without known cardiovascular disease and with LDL cholesterol below 190 mg/dL.
Indian patients use the "white or other" equation. The equations were not developed in South Asian populations and may underestimate their risk, so South Asian ancestry is listed as a risk-enhancing factor.
