Low · <5%
Stay on course.
Healthy habits, annual blood pressure and lipid checks, and a periodic preventive review are usually enough at this stage.
Calculator · cardiovascular 01 / 06
Your cardiovascular risk
over 10 years.
SCORE2 is the tool recommended by the European Society of Cardiology to estimate the risk of a heart attack or stroke in adults aged 40 to 69. You can run the calculation in seconds with a handful of basic inputs.
How it's calculated 02 / 06
A model validated in 677,000 people across low-, moderate- and high-risk regions in Europe.
SCORE2 combines six factors — age, sex, smoking status, blood pressure, total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol — in a competing-risk survival model that estimates the 10-year probability of a fatal or non-fatal cardiovascular event.
The calculator applies the official coefficients for low-risk regions (which include Spain and the United Kingdom). The result is then compared against the thresholds defined in the 2021 ESC Guidelines on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention: low, moderate or high.
For people aged 70 and above the appropriate model is SCORE2-OP, a dedicated variant for older adults. Below the age of 40 the model does not apply; in that case, lifetime risk should be discussed with your physician.
What to do with your result 03 / 06
Moderate · 5–<10%
Address the modifiables.
It's worth working on smoking, blood pressure and cholesterol under medical supervision. A cardiovascular imaging review may add useful context.
High · ≥10%
Detailed assessment.
A full cardiovascular work-up is indicated — echocardiogram, retinography, advanced lipid panel — alongside a discussion of preventive treatment with your physician.
Want a full cardiovascular check-up at a partner hospital?
We coordinate echocardiogram, retinography, ECG and an advanced blood panel in a single day, with a consolidated report in 72 hours.
