HEALTHEstimate your 10-year risk of a heart attack or stroke using the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE). Identifies who benefits most from statin therapy and aggressive cardiovascular risk-factor management.
The PCE uses age, sex, race, total and HDL cholesterol, systolic BP, BP treatment, diabetes, and smoking. Categories per ACC/AHA: under 5% low, 5-7.4% borderline (consider statin with risk enhancers), 7.5-19.9% intermediate (statin generally recommended), 20%+ high. Adding a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score refines borderline and intermediate decisions.
