Heart disease often gives no warning until a heart attack or stroke. This validated risk score (Framingham/NCEP ATP III) estimates your 10-year risk of coronary heart disease using your age, blood pressure, cholesterol, and smoking status.
You will need a recent cholesterol reading (total and HDL) and a blood pressure reading. If you do not have these numbers on hand, chat with Afiya first - HubPharm can help arrange the tests before you take this.

"Most heart attacks are not sudden. They are the end point of years of rising, measurable risk that a simple risk score can reveal long before symptoms do."
Your estimated 10-year risk of coronary heart disease, using six well-studied factors: age, sex, cholesterol (total and HDL), blood pressure, smoking status, and diabetes.
Adults 20 to 79, especially those over 40, with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a smoking history, or a family history of heart disease - even without symptoms.
If your score is elevated, chat with Afiya or book a consultation. HubPharm's coordinated care team can support blood pressure and cholesterol management as part of ongoing chronic care.

Everything people ask us before taking the heart risk test.
Email UsIt is a validated, published risk score developed from the long-running Framingham Heart Study and formalized by the US National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP ATP III). It is widely used by doctors to estimate 10-year coronary heart disease risk.
Clinical guidelines treat diabetes as a "CHD risk equivalent" - meaning your cardiovascular risk is already considered comparable to someone with existing heart disease, regardless of your other factors. The point-based calculation does not apply once that is true.
No. A high score means your statistical risk is elevated and further evaluation is worthwhile. Only a doctor, using tests like an ECG or stress test where needed, can diagnose heart disease.
