Individual relative cardiovascular risk score
CVRISK estimates the relative risk of developing a cardiovascular disease, taking into account each persons risk factors (smoking, dyslipidemia, etc.) and protective factors (physical activity, healthy diet).
It delivers a relative risk score, the result being compared to the subjects maximum and minimum (optimal) score. (or if you already suffer from a cardiovascular disease - the risk of relapsing).
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 dont 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).
