Use this calculator for quick cardiovascular risk discussions in primary care. It combines common risk factors into an estimated 10-year general CVD risk and highlights that local guideline interpretation remains essential.

Framingham general cardiovascular disease 10-year risk: 1 - S0^exp(score - mean score), using sex-specific coefficients for age, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure treatment status, smoking, and diabetes.Cholesterol inputs default to mmol/L and are converted to mg/dL internally for the published coefficients.Risk scores support shared decision-making but do not replace local guidelines, clinical judgement, or treatment thresholds.
Risk can be underestimated in familial hypercholesterolaemia, chronic kidney disease, inflammatory disease, HIV, strong family history, and established atherosclerotic disease.
Patients with known cardiovascular disease generally need secondary prevention rather than primary-risk estimation.
These calculators are designed for clinician decision support and SEO-friendly public education. Verify results against the original method and the patient context before making decisions.
