CVRISK test result is expressed as an abstract score, resulted from the magnitude of risk or protection conceded by each factor, as it was demonstrated in large clinical trials.
If you don't possess the results of your blood tests (HDL-, LDL- or total cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose), you can only calculate your CLINICAL RISK.
If these results are available, the more accurate TOTAL RISK can be calculated.
If you have calculated your risk before, you can also evaluate the EVOLUTIVE RISK (current score/past score), which shows you the evolution of your cardiovascular risk.
Based on the CVRISK score, you will receive recommendations regarding lifestyle changes and even suggestions of drug therapy (prescribed by your doctor).

1. Answer all the questions by ticking the boxes.
2. If you don't possess the results of your blood tests, you can only calculate your CLINICAL RISK - the first 9 items. Measure your blood pressure, weight, height, remember whether your parents suffered from cardiovascular diseases (angina, myocardial infarction, stroke, periphera artery disease; if you don't know – answer 2 for safety), take into account the stress you are being exposed at work, your diet and your physical activity.
3. If you know the results of your blood tests (HDL-, LDL- or total cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose), fill them in to calculate your TOTAL RISK.
4. Your CVRISK score will be automatically calculated and expressed as a number that estimates the level of your cardiovascular risk.
5. Compare this number to the maximum and optimal score you could have (also displayed), considering your gender and age and the presence of a cardiovascular disease.
6. If your risk is close to the optimal score, continue the preventive measures. If it's closer to the maximum risk, you need to enhance the preventive measures.
7. Calculate your UNFAVORABLE RISK (current score/optimal score). The more it surpasses 1, the greater is your cardiovascular risk, therefore you must intensify the preventive measures.
8. If this is the second, the third time you calculate your CVRISK, continue by estimating your EVOLUTIVE RISK (current score/past score). If the result is smaller than 1, continue the preventive measures. If it exceeds 1, you have to intensify them.
9. If you haven't been diagnosed with a cardiovascular disease, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus or severe dyslipidemia and your age is under 40, calculate your CLINICAL RISK every 2 years. Over the age of 40 or if you have at least one of these risk factors, it is recommended that you evaluate your CLINICAL RISK once year and your TOTAL RISK every 2 years. If you are suffering from cardiovascular disease, calculate your CLINIC RISK every 6 months and your TOTAL RISK once a year.
10. If your risk continues to increase despite applying the recommended preventive measures, you need to be evaluated by your physician.
