The researchers compared risk estimates for ASCVD using the older pooled cohort equations (PCEs), released in 2013, and the newPredicting Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Events (PREVENT) equations. PREVENT, developed by the American Heart Association (AHA) and released in 2023, marks a major revis...
Doing so “provides the opportunity to initiate early preventive efforts with greater potential to change the natural history of ASCVD than if started later in life,” Thomas and Wong say. “From a ASCVD risk perspective, their 10-year risk may be relatively low, but their lifetime risk may...
An early criticism of the Pooled Cohort Equations Risk Calculator has been its alleged overestimation of ASCVD risk which, if confirmed in the general population, is likely to result in statin therapy being prescribed to many individuals at lower risk than the intended 7.5% 10-year ASCVD ri...
The new tool was based on more diverse populations than prior calculators and estimates the risk for first atherosclerotic CV disease (ASCVD) event -- defined as coronary heart disease death, or fatal or nonfatal stroke -- over a 10-year period among people initially free of ASCVD. Before ...

Dyslipoproteinemias can be classified by their distinct lipoprotein patterns, which helps determine atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk and directs lipid management but this has required advanced laboratory testing. To develop a new algor
