Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our cardiovascular risk calculators and their clinical applications

How were these cardiovascular risk calculators developed?

Our risk calculators were developed using large, diverse clinical cohorts and validated through rigorous statistical methods. Each tool has been published in peer-reviewed medical journals and tested in multiple patient populations.

How can I integrate these tools into my clinical practice?

These calculators can be used at the point of care with individual patients to assess risk and guide treatment decisions. The tools are accessible on any web-enabled device and require no special software or installation.

Are these tools appropriate for all patient populations?

Each calculator has been validated in specific populations as detailed in their respective publications. We provide race-specific models where appropriate to ensure accurate risk prediction across diverse patient groups.

How often are these cardiovascular risk calculators updated?

Our tools are updated as new research findings become available and new validation studies are completed. We continuously review the latest evidence to ensure our calculators remain clinically relevant and accurate.
