ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus

ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus is a clinical decision-support app that brings two evidence-based cardiovascular prevention tools to your fingertips. Developed by the American College of Cardiology Foundation, this app unifies the 2013 ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations with the American Heart Association's PREVENT™ Calculator, giving clinicians a modern, comprehensive approach to cardiovascular disease risk assessment.

The app calculates personalized risk estimates using two complementary methodologies. The Pooled Cohort Equations assess 10-year and lifetime risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease by analyzing age, sex, race, blood pressure, cholesterol profile, diabetes status, and smoking history. The newer PREVENT™ Equations go further, estimating 10- and 30-year risk across total CVD, ASCVD, and heart failure while incorporating cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic health measures including BMI and glomerular filtration rate. Optional predictors such as urine albumin-creatinine ratio, hemoglobin A1c, and social deprivation index allow for refined risk modeling when available.

Toggle between the two risk calculation frameworks to compare trajectories and facilitate guideline-aligned prevention conversations with patients. Each assessment generates a risk category classification—low, borderline, intermediate, or high—along with personalized recommendations tailored to statin therapy considerations, lifestyle modifications, and risk-enhancing clinical factors. This structured output supports clinical decision-making at the point of care.

Documentation and patient communication are streamlined through built-in export functionality. Print or email risk assessments directly from the app, creating a clinical record and shareable summary for patient engagement. The integrated resources page provides access to related tools and informational materials for both clinicians and patients, plus reference documents that support evidence-based practice.

Designed for primary care and preventive cardiology workflows, ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus translates complex cardiovascular epidemiology into actionable clinical insights. Whether you're refining risk stratification protocols or counseling a patient on prevention strategies, this tool delivers the evidence and flexibility needed for modern cardiovascular care.
