PAHO/WHO CV Risk Calculator 2.1
Pan American Health OrganizationcommissionedGEDIC and Pixeloide Studios for the development of thisapplicationIt is entirely based on the formula that the WorldHealthOrganization propose for estimating cardiovascular risk inLatinAmerica, zone AMR-B. (2007 – ISBN: 978 92 4 154717 8). Thisriskassessment score takes into account various regionaladaptationsbased on the findings of Framingham study.Choice of language and of cholesterol an metric unitsBy selecting the gear icon you can change the language(Englishor Spanish), the units of cholesterol (mmol/l or mg/dl),and themetric units (decimal or imperial cm in feet and inches)Initial calculation of individual riskIt is very easy to use. By entering in six differentcriteriaabout the individual and selecting the option “calculate,”theapproximate risk of developing significant cardiovasculardiseasesin the next 10 years is calculated (myocardial infarction,anginapectoris, stroke).It is considered low risk to show an incidence rate less than10%in 10 years, or less than 1% a year. Another way to interprettheseresults is that 1 out of 100 people in this situation is atriskeach year; 10 people in a decade. On the other extreme, veryhighrisk would be more than 40% in the next 10 years, indicatingthat of100 people, 4 will suffer from cardiovascular disease peryear, and40 will show signs in the next 10 years; almost 1 out of2.The calculator is more precise when cholesterol levelsareintroduced, however it allows for calculation without thisnumber-if it is not available.What would happen if...Once the risk estimate is obtained, it evaluates differentwaysthat it can be modified by correcting factors such as tobaccouse,high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. It is consideredidealnot to smoke, to have blood pressure lower than 140/90andcholesterol levels under 200. Through this calculation, theuserscan see how quitting smoking lowers their risk by half, orthat bychanging any one of those 3 factors the estimated riskshifts fromvery high to very low, demonstrating how one caninfluence theiroutcome. Age and sex cannot be modified, andalthough diabetes isentered in as part of the analysis, it is notbased on blood sugarlevels or other criteria.Validation of this applicationWe created an algorithm that replicates the use of theclassiccolor charts. The validation process took place indifferentphases. For the current version, 100 random caseswereindependently compiled and classified independently by a groupofdoctors and technicians, using the calculator and the form.Next,the discrepancies were analyzed. Of the 100 cases,totalconcordance was found after correcting a typing error inthecalculator and 4 classification errors in the color chart.Thisgives us the certainty that the algorithm reflects the exactuse ofthe classic charts and facilitates the estimation of risk andtheeventual benefits of making improvement. Nevertheless, wewelcomeany detection of unexpected errors.
CV risk and prevention 0.0.1
CV-risk and prevention –TheprogrampurposeThe interactive application "CV-Risk and prevention"wasdevelopedfor clinical practice to calculate cardiovascularrisksforindividual patients and typical patient profiles.Thisriskassessment may assist in prevention ofcardiovasculardiseases.Individual risks can be identified,controlled and reducedbymedication and/or lifestyle changes.The probability to develop a CVD is most frequently theresultofmultiple interacting risk factors. These factors wereanalyzedtodetermine the 10-year risk of coronary heartdisease(FraminghamScore), the 10-year risk of fatal cardiovasculardisease(SCOREChart), personal risks, and the patient’s position intheprocessesof the cardiovascular continuum. Becausediabetesinfluences thecardiovascular risk, either the determinationof thediabetes riskby the DRS-score or the diabetes associatedvascularrisk IRIS IIscore were integrated.How to use it:After choosing a predefined patient profile, theriskcalculatorscreen appears. Individual patient parameters canbeindividuallymodified such as gender, age, BP, labvalues,etc.On the right side calculated results of the riskevaluation,thescores and a list of individual lifestyle risks andmeasuresaredisplayed. A PDF- report for the patient withimportantriskfactors, targets, and advices for lifestyle changescanbegenerated.In the personalized CV risk continuum all risksandthepatient&apo;s position on the way to develop of renalorCVdisease, are highlighted.The section "Micardis evidence based benefit"presentsthestudy-based risk minimization by MICARDIS therapy andoffersadirect access to the study in the STAR Trial database"EvidenceinCardio & Vascular Protection".The QUICK GUIDE provides a more detailed descriptionoftheprogram.
