Summary
Scientists have developed a new online heart-disease risk calculator that helps adults aged 30–59 gauge their chance of developing heart problems up to 30 years ahead, including heart attack, stroke, and heart failure. The tool, based on the updated American Heart Association PREVENT equations, uses common health data—such as age, blood pressure, cholesterol, and smoking status—to generate personalized risk percentages. Experts say the calculator’s earlier and broader predictions can prompt discussions with clinicians and motivate preventive steps, such as lifestyle changes or medications. While not perfect, the tool aims to highlight hidden risk factors and encourage action before serious disease sets in.
