This program enables physicians and the general public to readily assess a person's risk of dying within 5 years from cardiovascular disease, including both stroke and heart disease.
To calculate the risk score you need to know the following: age, sex, systolic blood pressure, serum total cholesterol, serum creatinine and height.
Also you must know if the person is a current smoker, diabetic, left ventricular hypertrophy, previous heart attack/myocardial infarction and previous strokes.
