Introduction

Welcome to the Cardiac Risk Calculator where you can estimate your chance of a cardiac event, dying from heart disease, and your overall chance of dying in the next 10 years.

What is the chance of a Cardiac Event?

This is the chance that in the next 10 years you will have angina, a heart attack, or die of a heart attack.

What is the chance of dying from heart disease?

This is the chance of dying in the next 10 years from a heart attack, stroke, heart failure, or aortic aneurysm.

Keep in mind...

  • Some of your chance is from things you cannot change such as your age and gender. Some of your chance you can do something about.

This site will help you understand how.

The numbers used to calculate risk on this site come from the Framingham Heart Study and from the National Center for Health Statistics.
