ASCVD Risk Estimator

The ASCVD Risk Estimator is published jointly by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) to help health care providers and patients estimate 10-year and lifetime risks for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) using the Pooled Cohort Equations and lifetime risk prediction tools. This app is intended as a companion tool to the 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk and the 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol to Reduce Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk in Adults.
The ASCVD Risk Estimator provides easy access to recommendations specific to the risk estimates produced by the calculator. Additionally, the app includes readily accessible guideline reference information for both providers and patients related to therapy, monitoring, and lifestyle.

I love having this app. It makes clinical decisions making about staying therapy more straightforward and some patients enjoy seeing theur numbers. However, there is this REALLY annoying aspect of the app where when you scroll - especially when your thumb is over a selectable item such as race - it clicks and changes your previous selection. It makes navigating the app really difficult at times. If the app developers fix that it would be a 10/10 app.

helpful! wish there were checkboxes for "risk enhancers", specifically HIV. If those were there, I'd make it a 5 star rating. otherwise, it's great!

Great app thanks a lot very helpful for patients. I like the part that emails the result adding more detailed patient education with continuing it being up to date woukd be great

The app is useless. It does not allow calculation for patients older than 59.

rubbish app, it always give more than 35% for whatever value it has, everyone is high risk

I have just calculated the same risk in heart disease calculator and got 6.5% risk, so I am not sure which is which especially on the basis of evidence based medicine, nevertheless I am trusting ACC (American College of Cardiology)

Automatic update to plus. You added med recommendations previous data etc....but text is too big. What happened to th aesthetically pleasing version that would not freeze up when going from tab to tab...needs more work. Otherwise great bedside calculator!

Gra. B. Aug 9, 2018     

Needs patch. Not able to calculate above age 59 despite saying you can calculate to 79.

Mic. G. May 26, 2018     

I used to love this app, but now it refuses to calculate risk in anyone over age 59. That needs to be fixed. Thanks

SI unit change to mmol, but in my phone the pad does not have a " . " " decimal" point ??

Mat. F. Sep 9, 2017     

Use almost daily in clinical practice as a PCP. The patient info entry seems a little cumbersome post update, not sure how to rectify that.

A. G. u. Sep 19, 2017     

Tells me that they need a high intensity statin, but doesn't tell me what dose is considered to be high intensity. Other apps are more helpful.

A. G. u. Aug 28, 2017     

Previous version worked perfectly and I used it every day in my office. This "Plus" one, to which I was updated without my consent, does not even allow data input with numerical keyboard. An excellent app ruined. Uninstalled.

I like all of the useful information that I received from this app. I gave it four stars b/c it would not accept my real total cholesterol value of 108. I had to input 130 instead to get a calculated result.

Mic. M. Aug 14, 2017     

Extremely cumbersome to enter data and to convert units eg metric to non metric measurements and American to international units. The rotating wheel format is much more time consuming than direct numeric entry.

Den. D. Dec 26, 2014     

Update: apparently my G3 needed to wipe the app & restart it. Now after that? Works perfectly. Thanks heart people! //Tried to get my assessment, but even after completing the first section, it still says "all fields required". But they're all filled in! Sigh.

Bra. B. May 15, 2017     

Please fix it!!! Halts and locks up when trying to move between tabs and pages... Don't understand why it should behave so erratically. User should be able to "reset" it to input different parameters easily... I often just restart it. Kludgy.

Jus. H. Oct 11, 2014     

Easy to use. Includes great information in addition to the risk rating, such as station intensity table.

Hen. N. Nov 6, 2014     

Best app for cv risk calculator. No problem encountered. Summary recommendation is awesome. This sums up the 85 page pdf file from ACC/AHA.

Maj. S. Sep 7, 2014     

Loved the app. I wish they could allow for both mg/dl and mmol/l, have to convert first its a bit tedious

Mau. D. Oct 9, 2014     

very useful but as most of the world uses si units for biochemistry, it would be most useful if these would be included.

Sha. P. Sep 27, 2014     

I like that I can plug in my patient's numbers and show them their risk right in their lab review session.
