10-year Heart Risk Calculator

Calculate the individual risk of cardiovascular disease in 10 years

## 10-year Heart Risk Calculator

10-year Heart Risk Calculator (Framingham Risk Score) estimates the individual risk of cardiovascular disease in 10 years; 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
