Heart Risk Calculator

Use of the calculator is free, confidential, and no registration is necessary.

Heart Risk Calculator (Framingham Risk Score) estimates the individual risk of cardiovascular disease in 10 years based on Canadian CardioVascular Society Guidelines; understand that helps healthcare providers predict a person’s risk of developing heart attack or stroke event.

Cholesterol Units Converter

Conversion for TC (total cholesterol), HDL (high density lipoprotein) and LDL (low density lipoprotein):

  • To get from mmol/L to mg/dL multiply by 38.67
  • To get from mg/dL to mmol/L multiply by 0.02586

Blood Pressure Measurement

Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is given as 2 figures:

  • Systolic pressure – the pressure when your heart pushes blood out
  • Diastolic pressure – the pressure when your heart rests between beats

For example, if your blood pressure is "140 over 90" or 140/90mmHg, it means you have a systolic pressure of 140mmHg and a diastolic pressure of 90mmHg.

  • High blood pressure: > 140/90mmHg
  • Ideal blood pressure: 90/60mmHg - 120/80mmHg
  • Low blood pressure: < 90/60mmHg
