CV-risk and prevention – The program purpose

The interactive application "CV-Risk and prevention" was developed for clinical practice to calculate cardiovascular risks for individual patients and typical patient profiles. This risk assessment may assist in prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Individual risks can be identified, controlled and reduced by medication and/or lifestyle changes.

The probability to develop a CVD is most frequently the result of multiple interacting risk factors. These factors were analyzed to determine the 10-year risk of coronary heart disease (Framingham Score), the 10-year risk of fatal cardiovascular disease (SCORE Chart), personal risks, and the patient’s position in the processes of the cardiovascular continuum. Because diabetes influences the cardiovascular risk, either the determination of the diabetes risk by the DRS-score or the diabetes associated vascular risk IRIS II score were integrated.

How to use it:

After choosing a predefined patient profile, the risk calculator screen appears. Individual patient parameters can be individually modified such as gender, age, BP, lab values, etc.

On the right side calculated results of the risk evaluation, the scores and a list of individual lifestyle risks and measures are displayed. A PDF- report for the patient with important risk factors, targets, and advices for lifestyle changes can be generated.

In the personalized CV risk continuum all risks and the patient&apo;s position on the way to develop of renal or CV disease, are highlighted.

The section "Micardis evidence based benefit" presents the study-based risk minimization by MICARDIS therapy and offers a direct access to the study in the STAR Trial database "Evidence in Cardio & Vascular Protection".
