Facteurs de risque cardiaque

Ce que ça mesure

How many well-established cardiovascular risk factors apply to you — covering age, smoking, activity, diet, family history, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and weight. It gives a plain-language sense of your risk profile, not a precise probability.

Comment ça marche

You answer a short series of yes/no-style questions about your lifestyle and medical history. Each factor that applies adds to a simple total, which places you in a Low, Moderate, or High band with advice tailored to that level. Diagnosed conditions count for more than borderline ones.

Conseils pour un résultat fiable

• 1Focus on what you can change — Smoking, activity, diet, weight, and treated blood pressure or cholesterol are all modifiable — small steps add up.
• 2Get the real calculation — Ask your GP to run a validated tool such as QRISK (UK) or ASCVD (US) using your measured blood pressure and cholesterol.
• 3Know your numbers — A simple GP or pharmacy check of blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar fills the biggest gaps in your risk picture.
• 4Family history counts — If heart disease ran early in your family, mention it to your doctor — it can change how your risk is managed.
