Answered by Dr. Jonathan Timperley
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
The best way to assess the chances of developing a cardiovascular issue in the future is by calculating a QRISK3 score. This score estimates the risk of experiencing a cardiac event within the next 10 years, considering factors like age, gender, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, smoking status, and medical history. By evaluating these factors, we gain insight into your individual risk profile and can provide suitable recommendations for prevention and management.
Thanks
