Hi all!

I'm gathering data for my research poster project about what current providers are using to calculate ASCVD risk - ACC/AHA 10yr ASCVD, LDL, Framingham risk score or others.

Which do you use? This is not to conclude to any debate. This is mainly to determine what current providers are using. I would love to get your answers so I can be done with this project =). Please feel free to pm or reply below. Thanks!

Why not Frammingham?

Why not Frammingham?

Because its not the most current data.

None of the above. The ACC calculator systemically over-estimates risk.
I know what the risk factors for coronary disease are. I don't need a calculator.
