LOINC description : The quantitative estimate for a patient's lifetime risk for having an atherosclerotic
cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) based on the Pooled Cohort Equations as published in
the 2013 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk. The lifetime
ASCVD risk estimate is used an adjunct to short-term (10-year) risk assessment and
to facilitate discussion regarding risk reduction through lifestyle change. It is
calculated using the patient's age, sex, race, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol,
systolic blood pressure, blood pressure lowering medication use, diabetes status,
and smoking status. The equations were developed by the ACC/AHA Risk Assessment Work
Group and derived from non-Hispanic white and African American populations from 40
to 79 years of age. Per ACC/AHA, the estimates of lifetime risk are most directly
applicable to non-Hispanic whites. They recommend using the values for other race/ethnic
groups, but the estimates may represent under- and overestimates for persons of various
ethnic groups.[PMID: 24222018] A spreadsheet enabling estimation of 10-year and lifetime
risk for ASCVD is available for download at http://my.americanheart.org/cvriskcalculator.;
