Cardiovascular Risk Score
What It Is
A calculated score estimating your 10-year risk of a cardiovascular event based on multiple factors.
Why It Matters
This score combines age, blood pressure, cholesterol, and other factors to guide preventive strategies.
If Levels Are High
A high score suggests greater risk and may prompt lifestyle changes or further investigation.
If Levels Are Low
A low score is reassuring but does not eliminate all cardiovascular risk.
Preparation
Depends on the individual components measured.
How Often to Test
Annually for adults over 40, or as clinically indicated.
