Heart Risk Factor Check

Summarise the heart-disease risk factors you already know about, so you can take them to your doctor.

This is a self-reported checklist, not a validated risk score and not a diagnosis. A 10-year cardiovascular risk estimate needs a clinician using a validated tool with laboratory values.

  1. Age (30-79)
  2. Sex (Male, Female)
  3. Total cholesterol (mg/dL)
  4. HDL cholesterol (mg/dL)
  5. Systolic BP (mmHg)
  6. Currently on BP-lowering medication?
  7. Current smoker?
  8. Diabetes diagnosed?

What your score means

0 — No major reported factors. You did not report smoking, diabetes or blood-pressure treatment. Share these numbers with your clinician for a proper risk estimate.

1–2 — Some reported factors. You reported one or two of these factors: smoking, diabetes or blood-pressure treatment. Discuss them with your clinician for a proper risk estimate.

3 — Several reported factors. You reported all three factors: smoking, diabetes and blood-pressure treatment. Take this summary to your clinician for a proper risk estimate.
