Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, otherwise known as ASCVD, is caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls and refers to conditions that include: Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), such as myocardial infarction, angina, and coronary artery stenosis.
ASCVD, or Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease, is caused by the buildup of plaque within the arteries, limiting the flow of blood to important organs.
ASCVD is caused by buildup in the arteries and it increases the possibility of heart disease and stroke. These key steps can help you maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce your risk of ASCVD, heart disease and stroke.
You will understand and articulate the concepts of thresholds of LDL-C to consider initiation of non-statin lipid lowering therapy, identifying “very high-risk” ASCVD patients and system level gaps in lipid management. Innovative Lipid Management Strategies for ASCVD Risk Reduction.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) involves plaque buildup in artery walls, which includes conditions such as acute coronary syndrome and peripheral artery disease, and can cause a heart attack, stable or unstable angina, stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA) or aortic aneurysm.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, or ASCVD, involves plaque buildup in artery walls which includes conditions such as acute coronary syndrome and peripheral artery disease, and can cause a heart attack, stable or unstable angina, stroke, transient ischemic attack or aortic aneurysm.
The National Integrated ASCVD Management Initiative aims to understand and improve the patient journey by identifying lipid management best practices that can be leveraged nationally across care settings.
The calculator provides 10-year risk estimates for individuals 30-79 years of age and provides 30-year risk estimates for individuals 30-59 years of age. The PREVENT TM equations were developed by the American Heart Association Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Scientific Advisory Group.
The resources in this page have been created and assembled by the American Heart Association®, its volunteer medical professionals from across the country, and the hospitals participating in this initiative.
The purpose of the ASCVD Risk Calculator is to estimate a patient's 10-year ASCVD risk at an initial visit to establish a reference point. ACC/AHA guidelines recommend the use of the PCE as an important starting point, not as the final arbiter, for decision making in primary prevention of ASCVD.
