Calculations to Estimate the 10-Year Risk of
Cardiac Events for Men and Women
To calculate the 10-year risk of cardiac events, add up
points from the following 5 tables pertaining to age,
HDL, systolic blood pressure, TC, and smoking status
(Tables 5.1-5.5). Note that in Tables 5.3-5.5, women’s
points are in parentheses. After adding points from all
of the tables, consult Table 5.6. (Alternatively, an online
calculator is available at http://hin.nhlbi.nih.gov/atpiii/
calculator.asp.)
