Frequently asked questions

What is Heart Disease Risk Calculator?

Estimate your 10-year risk of heart attack and stroke with the 2013 ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations (ASCVD), from age, sex, cholesterol, blood pressure and risk factors.

When would I actually use this?

Checking one clinical number against the definition that gives it meaning: a dose against a body weight, a laboratory value corrected for the albumin or glucose that distorted it, a blood pressure against a guideline's threshold table, a heart rate or a basal metabolic rate against the formula that defines it.

What is the most common mistake?

Reading the output as a finding. Every figure here is arithmetic on numbers you typed: a correction formula measures nothing, and a threshold table classifies one reading rather than a person. Blood pressure in particular means little until it has been measured repeatedly on separate occasions, and a dose worked out here is a way of checking a prescription, never of writing one.

How is Heart Disease Risk Calculator different from Max heart rate calculator?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Max heart rate calculator is the one to open when you need it to find your max heart rate and training zones. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Resting heart rate calculator is the closest one after this: Classify your resting heart rate (RHR) as low, normal or elevated.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Blood Donation Time Calculator and Blood Pressure Category Calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Each tool names the published formula it applies, on its own page: the Payne correction for calcium, Katz (1.6) and Hillier (2.4) for glucose-corrected sodium, Mifflin-St Jeor for basal metabolic rate, Widmark for blood alcohol, 220 − age for maximum heart rate, the 2013 ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations for cardiovascular risk, and five published formulas side by side for body surface area. The classification tools use the guideline tables themselves — ACC/AHA 2017, ESC/ESH and ESC 2024 for blood pressure, the ADA Standards of Care for glucose — and where guidelines disagree the tool shows the reading under each rather than picking one. None of this is a diagnosis, and none of it knows the history, medication or comorbidity that decides what a number means.

Those are the same rule, and here is the arithmetic that proves it, plus why stacking is the error that actually hurts.
