Heart Disease Risk Calculator

Calculation of Results

Calculate your cardiovascular disease risk using the heart disease risk calculator.

cm

kg

This heart disease risk assessment gives more accurate results for people between the ages of 18 and 99. In people younger than 18 and older than 99, having one or more cardiovascular risk factors indicates an increased cardiovascular risk. If you are in this category, you should seek additional evaluation and treatment advice from your doctor.

Have you experienced any of the following situations or interventions before?

Has any of your parents, siblings or children experienced any of the following at a young age? (earlier than age 55 for men and earlier than 65 for women?)

Total cholesterol level

HDL ("good") cholesterol level

Systolic (top number)

Diastolic (bottom number)

Even if you do not know your blood pressure values, it is still possible to calculate your risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the calculation will be more accurate if you enter your blood pressure values.

Note: Intense physical activity; It refers to aerobic exercises or activities in which you move fast (such as cycling) that will cause you to breathe more than usual. Moderately intensive activities; It refers to activities that cause you to breathe less deeply than usual (such as cycling at a normal pace or doubles tennis).

Base your answers on your eating habits for the past week. One serving is roughly equivalent to a small apple or a small potato.

Portion sizes of common foods containing saturated fat: Hamburger, steak, bacon, salami, sausage (3 ounces or a deck of paper size); butter (1 teaspoon); whole milk (1 cup); ice cream (1/2 cup); cheese (1 pre-packaged slice, about 1 ounce).

Since you have a history of cardiovascular disease, collaborate with your doctor to determine your risk.

This ratio represents your risk of developing the next cardiovascular disease, heart attack or stroke.

Take action to reduce your risk

If you could control your risk factors for cardiovascular disease, heart attack and stroke, your risk is in:

Your risk for cardiovascular disease is at or near acceptable risk level. Continue like this!

Before increasing your level of physical activity, talk to your doctor to make sure this will be safe for you.

  • Increase your physical activity gradually to include at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week, 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity, or the corresponding moderate to intense physical activity. Do at least 10 minutes of aerobic exercise at a time and spread the aerobic exercise over the week. Include in this at least two days of strength training per week.
  • Increase your physical activity gradually to at least 150 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week, 300 minutes of moderate aerobic activity, or the equivalent moderate to vigorous activity. Do at least 10 minutes of aerobic exercise at a time and spread the aerobic exercise over the week. Include in this at least two days of strength training per week.
  • If you don't have any physical activity, you can start with 15 minutes of physical activity two or three times a week and gradually increase to the goals listed above.
  • Eat a healthy diet.
  • Eat a healthy diet that includes:
    • Fruit, vegetables and whole grains
    • Low-fat dairy products and low-fat proteins, such as poultry, fish, and legumes

  • Maintain your healthy weight.
  • Do not smoke or smoke tobacco products.
  • Reduce the total calories in your daily diet.
  • Talk to your doctor about whether he recommends screening tests or treatments for cardiovascular disease risk.
  • Limit the amount of salt in your diet.
  • Limit the amount of alcohol you consume.
  • Lose weight if you are overweight or obese
  • Use your blood pressure medication if your doctor recommends
  • Measure your blood pressure and check if it is too high with your doctor.
  • Try the DASH diet, this is a healthy eating approach designed to treat or prevent high blood pressure.
  • If you are overweight or obese, lose weight.

Do at least 10 minutes of aerobic exercise at a time and spread the aerobic exercise over the week. Include in this at least two days of strength training per week.
  • Eat a healthy diet that includes:
    • Fruit, vegetables and whole grains

About this calculator

This interactive calculator estimates your risk compared to people in your age group based on weight, physical activity and smoking history. The calculator uses the following formulas:

  • If you know your lipid information and are younger than 60 years old, the Framingham Heart Study General Cardiovascular Disease 30-Year Lipid-Based Risk Score Calculator has been used.
  • If you do not know your lipid information and are younger than 60 years old, the Framingham Heart Study Cardiovascular Disease 30-Year BMI-Based Risk Score Calculator has been used.
  • If you know your lipid information and are 60 years or older, the ACC / AHA Pooled Cohort Equations CV Risk Calculator has been used.
  • If you do not know your lipid information and are 60 years or older, the Framingham Heart Study Cardiovascular Disease 10-Year BMI-Based Risk Score Calculator has been used.

This information is provided as a guide. Be sure to discuss any health concerns with your doctor.
