The ACC/AHA 2013 guideline on the treatment of blood cholesterol to reduce atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk in adults: the good the bad and the ... Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the most important public health problem of our time in both Europe and the rest of the world,...
The American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) Pooled Cohort Equations Cardiovascular risk calculator (ASCVD) is based on a population of non-Hispanic whites and African Americans in the US (http:// tools.acc.org/ASCVD-Risk-Estimator/). Compared to the Framingham risk ...
A potential limitation of the ACC/AHA calculator is that a family history of premature CVD is not included in the model. This may result in underestimation of risk in patients with very strong family histories of cardiovascular events. Additionally, the ACC/AHA includes diabetes only as a yes/...
The development of an atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk calculator formed the basis of the risk assessment guideline, and the lifestyle management guideline focused on recommending an evidence-based dietary pattern. The blood cholesterol...
The 2019 ACC/AHA guidelines recommend either a high-intensity or moderate-intensity statin regimen in patients who have an elevated ASCVD risk (≥ 5-7.5%) for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. The recommended doses for each of these regimens are shown below: ...

We calculated cardiovascular risk using the American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk calculator and the Framingham Risk Score Calculator. We also determined the prevalence of appropriate statin use according to both the 2013 ...
So, in 2023, the AHA published a new set of cardiovascular risk prediction equations, known as PREVENT. The new calculator predicts the risk of heart failure in addition to the risk of plaque-related cardiovascular disease over the next 10 years in people ages 30 to 79 and over the next 3...
