Cardiovascular

PREVENT-ASCVD

Race-free base PREVENT estimate of 10-year ASCVD risk; 30-year estimate for ages 30–59.

Intended population: Adults ages 30–79 without known cardiovascular disease; published base-equation input ranges.

  • This is the base ASCVD equation, not total CVD or heart-failure risk. It does not include optional UACR, HbA1c or social deprivation inputs.
  • The result alone is not a statin prescription. Review the applicable guideline, clinical context and patient preferences.
