10-year cardiovascular risk score in Taiwan

心血管疾病風險評估

A calculated estimate of your 10-year risk of heart attack or stroke based on your risk factors.

A calculated score derived from other measurements (age, cholesterol, blood pressure, smoking status), not a separately ordered lab or imaging test.

About this test

Not a lab test or a scan. A doctor or computer program combines measurements already taken, such as age, cholesterol, blood pressure and smoking status, into one calculated estimate using a standard formula.

Estimates the chance of a heart attack or stroke over the next decade from those risk factors. It helps a doctor assess overall cardiovascular risk, and it describes groups of people rather than a certainty for any one person.

10-year cardiovascular risk score
Recommended (grade A/B)The USPSTF recommends that clinicians prescribe a statin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease for adults aged 40 to 75 years who have 1 or more cardiovascular risk factors and an estimated 10-year cardiovascular risk of 10% or greater. (2022) · USPSTF ↗ Note: This grade is for starting a statin, not for calculating the score. The USPSTF tells clinicians to estimate 10-year cardiovascular risk with a risk estimator (it names the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations) as a step in the statin decision. The statement does not apply to adults with LDL cholesterol above 190 mg/dL or known familial hypercholesterolemia.
Selective (grade C)The USPSTF recommends that clinicians selectively offer a statin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease for adults aged 40 to 75 years who have 1 or more cardiovascular risk factors and an estimated 10-year cardiovascular risk of 7.5% to less than 10%.

Insufficient evidence (grade I)The USPSTF says the evidence is insufficient to weigh the benefits and harms of starting a statin for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in adults 76 years or older.
