Eskor - primary prevention program. Calculate your cardiovascular richio.
Calculating individual score.
The individual score is a simple tool to estimate the probability of experiencing a first major cardiovascular event (myocardial infarction or stroke) over the next 10 years, knowing the value of eight risk factors: gender, age, diabetes, smoking status , systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and anti-hypertensive treatment.
The risk assessment offered by the score is more accurate than that of the cardiovascular risk charts. The individual scoring fact:
• considers two risk factors in more than paper, HDL-cholesterol and anti-hypertensive therapy, which is an additional factor to high blood pressure, as the recorded value is not natural but also due to the specific treatment, and is an indicator for the evaluation of hypertension standing
• the cards are classes of total risk calculated for categories of risk factors and consider ranges of values for cholesterol and blood pressure; individual score takes into account continuous values for serum cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, age, blood pressure and provides a point estimate of cardiovascular risk
• individual score can be applied to people in the age range 35-69 years (instead of the paper considers the range 49-69 years).
Therefore the risk assessment through the two tools can be a bit 'different.
The calculation of the individual score:
• must be made by the doctor
• is valid if the risk factors were measured according to the standard method
• it can be used on older women and men between 35 and 69 years who have not had previous cardiovascular events
• it can not be used in pregnant women
• it can not be applied for the extreme values of the risk factors: systolic blood pressure greater than 200 mmHg or lower than 90 mmHg, total cholesterol greater than 320 mg / dl or less than 130 mg / dl, HDL-cholesterol of less than 20 mg / dl or greater than 100 mg / dl.
At the end of the assessment of cardiovascular risk, the values of clinical blood sugar and blood cholesterol tests can be used if performed within the last three months.
It is advisable to carry out the assessment of cardiovascular risk through the grade of at least:
• every six months for people at high cardiovascular risk (risk higher than or equal to 20%)
• each year for people at risk to be monitored through the adoption of a healthy lifestyle (risk higher than or equal to 3% and less than 20%)
• every 5 years for people at low cardiovascular risk (3% lower risk).
