The updated ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus uses up to date science and user feedback to help a clinician and patient build a customized risk lowering plan by estimating and monitoring change in 10-year ASCVD risk.
Use the app to:
• Estimate a patient’s initial 10-year ASCVD risk using the pooled cohort equation
• Receive an individualized, risk-based, intervention approach
• Project the impact of specific interventions on a patient’s risk
• Guide clinician-patient discussion around customizing an intervention plan
• Update risk at follow-up based on a patient’s response to therapy using the Million Hearts Longitudinal model
Advice from the app is derived from the 2019 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease, the 2018 ACC/AHA et.al Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol, the 2017 ACC/AHA et.al Guideline on High Blood Pressure in Adults, the 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk, and the 2016 Million Hearts Longitudinal ASCVD Risk Assessment Tool user guide. The information and recommendations in this app are meant to support clinical decision making. They are not meant to represent the only or best course of care, or replace clinical judgment. Therapeutic options should be determined after discussion between the patient and their care provider.
Latest reviews of ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus app for iPhone and iPad
Echo the previous comment. This marginally useful for the rest of the world as we SI units and this app does not accept them
I try to use the calculator with my patients but FRUSTRATING that there is no SI (mmol/L) option. Agree with other people - join the rest of the world.
Not everyone in the USA uses mg/dL Please update your app to allow the user to use SI units
Please give the option to use SI units. You limit your usability by only using American units (mg/dL).
This app has great look and feel. Simple to use and terrific content for both clinicians and patients.
