About PreventCalculator

Free, accurate cardiovascular risk calculators based on the latest medical evidence — helping people and clinicians understand heart disease risk.

About PreventCalculator.com

PreventCalculator.com provides free, clinically-grounded cardiovascular risk calculators based on the American Heart Association's 2023 PREVENT equations and the ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations. Our goal is to make validated cardiovascular risk assessment accessible to both healthcare professionals and the general public.

All calculators on this site are built on peer-reviewed, published equations and are intended for educational use. They are not a substitute for clinical judgment or professional medical advice.

What is the PREVENT Calculator?

The PREVENT™ (Predicting Risk of Cardiovascular Disease EVENTs) calculator was introduced by the American Heart Association in 2023. It represents a major advance over previous tools by:

  • Including heart failure as an outcome alongside heart attack and stroke
  • Incorporating kidney function (eGFR) as a required input
  • Adding BMI to reflect metabolic health
  • Estimating both 10-year and 30-year cardiovascular risk
  • Removing race as a biological variable, improving equity
  • Being validated on 6.5+ million diverse U.S. adults
