    Framingham Cardiac Risk Calculator


    Information

    The Framingham 10-Year Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Risk Score is derived from the Framingham Heart Study which estimates the 10-year risk of developing CHD in individuals without existing heart disease. This score takes into account several risk factors, including age, gender, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, treatment for hypertension, smoking status, and diabetes status. The resulting percentage reflects the likelihood of developing CHD within the next 10 years. It is useful in identifying individuals at high risk for CHD, guiding preventive measures such as lifestyle modifications and, where appropriate, pharmacotherapy.

    2-Mean Arterial Pressur kie (MAP)


    Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)






    Information

    MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure) is a key indicator of system blood perfusion, representing the average arterial pressure throughout one cardiac cycle. It is calculated using systolic and diastolic blood pressures and is used as a target for ensuring adequate blood flow to organs. MAP calculation is used in managing patients with cardiac, vascular, or critical illnesses, where maintaining optimal organ perfusion is crucial.

    3- CHADS2 Stroke Risk Score




    CHADS2 Stroke Risk Score

    Scoring:

    • Congestive heart failure = +1

    • Hypertension = +1

    • Age ≥75 = +1

    • Diabetes mellitus = +1

    • Prior Stroke/TIA = +2 Score

    Information

  • CHADS2 score is for estimating the risk of stroke in patients with iAtrial Fibrillation (AF). It is used to guide clinical decision-making regarding anticoagulation therapy in patients with AF, with higher scores typically warranting stronger consideration for anticoagulation to prevent stroke. This scoring system is simple, yet effective, for stratifying patients based on their stroke risk.
