Cardiovascular Risk Assessment Tool

Author(s): Syed Raza

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) screening is provided at most GP surgeries / clinics. The aim is to classify and address any specific cardiovascular risk factors found in ‘well’ individuals. This means that treatment and / or lifestyle changes can begin as soon as possible and hopefully prevent cardiovascular problems from happening later on. More complex situations may need referral to specialist services.

Cardiovascular risk assessment:

One should have an assessment of your CVD risk at least every 5 years if: • One is 40 years old or above • Have a close relative (parent, brother, sister or child) who has had heart disease and / or stroke illness before the age of 65 (women) or 55 (men) or has a genetic cholesterol problem (called familial dyslipidaemia)
