PREVENT Cardiovascular Risk Calculator (AHA 2023)

AHA 2023 PREVENT equations. Updated 10- and 30-year CVD risk prediction including heart failure. Incorporates eGFR, replaces race-specific coefficients, applicable ages 30–79.

Used in: Chronic Kidney Disease

Score interpretation

Low CVD Risk

→ PREVENT Low Risk: 10-year CVD risk <5%. Lifestyle counselling; reassess in 4–6 years. Statin not routinely indicated unless LDL-C >190 mg/dL or diabetes with additional risk factors.

Borderline-Intermediate CVD Risk

→ PREVENT Intermediate Risk: 10-year risk 5–10%. Shared decision-making for statin; consider coronary artery calcium (CAC) score to further stratify; optimise BP, lipids, HbA1c; 30-year risk may reveal higher lifetime risk.

High CVD Risk

→ PREVENT High Risk: 10-year CVD risk >10%. High-intensity statin; BP target <130/80 mmHg; SGLT2i/GLP-1RA if diabetes; aspirin in select patients; review eGFR trajectory and CKD management.

Interpretation bands for the PREVENT Score. Apply clinical judgement and local guidance.
