How is cardiovascular risk calculated?

Cardiovascular risk is typically calculated using validated risk models such as the ASCVD Pooled Cohort Equations (ACC/AHA 2013) which consider age, sex, race, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, diabetes status, and smoking status. These estimate 10-year risk of heart attack or stroke.

What is a normal resting heart rate?

For most adults, a normal resting heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute. Well-trained athletes may have rates below 60 bpm. A consistently high resting heart rate (>100 bpm) or low rate (<50 bpm, if not athletic) should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

What is a healthy blood pressure range?

According to AHA/ACC guidelines: Normal <120/80 mmHg, Elevated 120-129/<80, Stage 1 Hypertension 130-139/80-89, Stage 2 Hypertension ≥140/90. These are systolic/diastolic mmHg values.

Q: What is a healthy blood pressure range?

According to AHA/ACC guidelines: Normal <120/80 mmHg, Elevated 120-129/<80, Stage 1 Hypertension 130-139/80-89, Stage 2 Hypertension ≥140/90. These are systolic/diastolic mmHg values.

Blood Pressure Category Checker

Classify your blood pressure according to AHA/ACC guidelines: Normal, Elevated, Stage 1 Hypertension, or Stage 2 Hypertension. Enter systolic and diastolic values.

Pulse Pressure Calculator

Calculate pulse pressure (systolic minus diastolic) and interpret the result. Pulse pressure > 40 mmHg may indicate increased cardiovascular risk; < 25 mmHg may indicate low cardiac output.

Calculate Systolic-Diastolic

Mean Arterial Pressure Calculator

Calculate MAP (mean arterial pressure) using the formula: MAP ≈ diastolic + 1/3 × (systolic - diastolic). MAP represents the average arterial pressure during one cardiac cycle.

Calculate Formula: MAP ≈ DP + 1/3(SP - DP)

Maximum Heart Rate Estimator

Estimate your maximum heart rate using multiple formulas: Tanaka (208 - 0.7 × age), Haskell & Fox (220 - age), and Gulati (206 - 0.88 × age for women). Includes target heart rate zones for exercise intensity.

Heart Rate Training Zones

Calculate your heart rate training zones based on % of maximum heart rate: Zone 1 (Recovery), Zone 2 (Aerobic), Zone 3 (Tempo), Zone 4 (Threshold), Zone 5 (Anaerobic). Includes calorie burn estimates.
