not just the number.
The WHO/ISH Cardiovascular Risk Charts Calculator provides a comprehensive estimation of 10-year risk for major cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Risk is categorized visually with colors: <10% (green, low risk), 10-19% (yellow, moderate risk), 20-29% (orange, high risk), and >30% (red, very high risk). The calculator uses age, gender, systolic blood pressure, smoking status, and diabetes as inputs, making it suitable for regions with limited laboratory resources.
Clinicians can utilize the risk assessment to guide lifestyle interventions and pharmacological therapy accordingly.
