A note from Kyle Keith, PA-C: Most people have never seen their 10-year cardiovascular risk number. Your provider calculates it — but rarely walks through what it means. This tool uses the same equations we use in the exam room. Enter your most recent lab values and blood pressure. The result and plain English explanation are yours to keep.

Important: This calculator uses the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations — the same tool used in clinical practice. It is an educational estimate only and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Results are not a substitute for a conversation with your provider. Individual risk depends on many factors beyond this calculator. Always discuss your cardiovascular risk and treatment options with a qualified healthcare provider.
