Key facts

Cardiovascular disease 10Y risk [Likelihood] ACC-AHA Pooled Cohort by Goff 2013
Cardiovascular disease 10Y risk
The quantitative estimate for a patient's 10-year risk for having an atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) based on the Pooled Cohort Equations as published in the 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk.[PMID24222018] The 10-year ASCVD risk estimates are calculated using the patient's age, sex, race, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, blood pressure lowering medication use, diabetes status, and smoking status. The equations were developed by the ACC/AHA Risk Assessment Work Group and derived from non-Hispanic white and African American populations from 40 to 79 years of age. For other ethnic groups, it is recommended using the equations for non-Hispanic whites, though these estimates may underestimate the risk for persons from some race/ethnic groups.
