What is the Heart Attack Risk Calculator?

The Heart Attack Risk Calculator is a free, user-friendly tool that estimates your 10-year risk of experiencing a heart attack

Based on clinical data from the Framingham Heart Study, it uses key health metrics such as your age, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, smoking status, and diabetes to predict your likelihood of developing heart disease in the next decade.

This online calculator is especially useful for adults aged 30 to 74 in the United States who do not have existing heart disease but want to take a proactive step toward their heart health.

How Does This Tool Work?

Using a point-based system derived from medical guidelines, the calculator assigns values to risk factors:

• Age & Gender – The older you are, the higher the risk
• Cholesterol (Total & HDL) – High total cholesterol and low HDL increase the risk
• Systolic Blood Pressure – Elevated blood pressure levels can strain your heart
• Smoking – Smoking dramatically raises cardiovascular risks
• Diabetes – Diabetes is a major contributor to heart disease

After inputting your data, the calculator instantly computes your heart attack risk percentage and presents it in an easy-to-read result in italic dark blue text for better visibility
