The ASCVD Risk Calculator estimates a patient's 10-year risk of a first atherosclerotic cardiovascular event (heart attack or stroke) using the 2013 ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations. This replaced the Framingham Risk Score in US guidelines for determining statin therapy eligibility. The calculator uses age, sex, race, total and HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, blood pressure treatment status, diabetes, and smoking status. Risk thresholds guide statin therapy: <5% low, 5–7.5% borderline, 7.5–20% intermediate (moderate-intensity statin), ≥20% high (high-intensity statin).
Formula: Pooled Cohort Equations (2013 ACC/AHA) — race/sex-specific Cox proportional hazards model with ln-transformed coefficients.
