1. What is the ESC Cardiovascular Risk Score?

The ESC (European Society of Cardiology) cardiovascular risk score estimates the 10-year risk of fatal or non-fatal cardiovascular events. It helps identify individuals who may benefit from preventive interventions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the ESC risk equation:

\[ \text{Risk (\%)} = 1 - S0(\text{age})^{\exp(\text{LPI})}; \quad \text{LPI} = \sum (\beta \times \text{risk factors}) \]

Where:

\( S0 \) — Baseline survival function
\( \text{LPI} \) — Linear predictor index
\( \beta \) — Coefficients for each risk factor
Risk factors include age, gender, smoking status, cholesterol, and blood pressure

3. Importance of Risk Calculation

Details: Accurate risk assessment helps guide preventive strategies, including lifestyle modifications and pharmacological interventions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all required values accurately. The calculator is valid for individuals aged 40-80 without established cardiovascular disease.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What risk categories does ESC use?
A: ESC defines high risk as ≥10%, moderate as 5-10%, and low as <5% 10-year risk.

Q2: How often should risk be reassessed?
A: Every 5 years, or more frequently if risk factors change significantly.

Q3: Does this apply to patients with diabetes?
A: Diabetic patients are automatically considered at least moderate risk, but the calculator can provide additional stratification.

Q4: What's the difference between SCORE and this calculator?
A: SCORE estimates fatal events only, while this estimates total (fatal + non-fatal) cardiovascular events.

Q5: Are there population-specific versions?
A: Yes, risk equations are calibrated for different European regions based on local event rates.
