Step 1: Add your personal details

Enter age, sex, and basic health facts that the tool asks for. Use accurate numbers within the tool’s input ranges so the result applies to you. Next, add the vital readings that shape risk.

Step 2: Add key health numbers

Include recent blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking and medication status — the calculator depends on these. Confirm units and dates so the score reflects current health. Ready to run the math?

Step 3: Get your risk score

Submit the inputs and the tool produces a percentage estimate based on its model. The result appears instantly and highlights which inputs mattered most. Then learn how to read that percentage.

How to read and use the result

Treat the percentage as an estimate, not a diagnosis. Check the calculator’s labels and limits, and discuss high or surprising results with a clinician. Want to know accuracy and caveats?
