What Is Cardiovascular (CV) Risk?

Cardiovascular risk refers to the likelihood of developing heart disease or experiencing a cardiac event (e.g., heart attack, stroke) within 10 years. Our CV Risk Calculator evaluates critical biomarkers to provide personalized risk stratification aligned with clinical guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC).

Key Metrics Calculated by the Tool

1. Age & Biological Sex

• Age: Risk doubles every decade after 40.

• Sex: Men under 50 face higher risks than women.

2. Body Composition

• BMI:

  CategoryBMI RangeRisk LevelUnderweight<18.5LowNormal18.5–24.9BaselineOverweight25–29.9ElevatedObese≥30High

3. Clinical Parameters

• Blood Pressure:

  • Normal: <120/80 mmHg

  • Elevated: 120–129/<80 mmHg

• Cholesterol:

  • Ideal LDL: <100 mg/dL (EU: <2.6 mmol/L)

4. Lifestyle Factors

• Smoking status

• Physical activity frequency

How the CV Risk Calculator Works

Step 1: Input Demographic & Health Data

• Real-time validation ensures values fall within medical ranges (e.g., BP 50–250 mmHg).

• Automatic unit conversion (kg ↔ lbs, mg/dL ↔ mmol/L).

Step 2: Algorithm-Based Risk Calculation

• Incorporates Framingham Risk Score principles:

  Risk Score = (Age × 0.5) + (BP > 130 ? 15 : 0) + (Smoker ? 20 : 0)

Step 3: Results & Interpretation

• Risk Categories:

  • Low (<30%): Green zone – Maintain preventive care.

  • Moderate (30–59%): Yellow zone – Consult a cardiologist.

  • High (≥60%): Red zone – Immediate intervention needed.

Why Monitor CV Risk?

1. Early Detection: 80% of heart diseases are preventable.

2. Personalized Care: Tailor diet/exercise plans to risk level.

3. Cost-Effective: Avoid expensive treatments through prevention.

Factors Influencing Cardiovascular Risk

Biological Factors

• Genetic predisposition

• Atherosclerosis progression

Modifiable Factors

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Poor lipid profile

• Uncontrolled diabetes

Understanding Your Results

Low-Risk Profile

• Recommendations:

  • Annual checkups

  • Mediterranean diet

  • 150 mins/week moderate exercise

High-Risk Profile

• Next Steps:

  1. Lipid-lowering therapy (statins)

  2. 24-hour BP monitoring

  3. Stress echocardiogram
