II. Background
- New calculator released for use with ACC/AHA 2013 Hyperlipidemia Guidelines and replaces the Framingham Calculator
- Calculator appears to primarily overestimate Cardiovascular Risk
- Calculator also allows for estimation of impact of Tobacco Cessation or adding Statin or Aspirin
- Calculators (interfaces vary, but use the same calculations)
III. Indications
- No known cardiovascular disease AND Age 40 to 75 years old (or LDL Cholesterol >190 mg/dl)
- Allows for decision making in primary prevention
- Starting Aspirin for age >50 years old
- Starting a Blood Pressure medication for stage I Hypertension
- Assigning an LDL goal and starting a Statin for Hyperlipidemia
IV. Criteria
- Diabetes Mellitus or other heart disease equivalent
- Current Tobacco Use
- Age
- Gender
- Total Cholesterol
- HDL Cholesterol
- Systolic Blood Pressure
- Hypertension treatment
V. Interpretation: Cardiovascular Risk
- Low: <10% CAD 10 year risk (<0.6% per year)
- Moderate: 10-20% CAD 10 year risk (0.6-2.0% per year)
- High:>20% CAD 10 year risk (>2% per year)
