Based on your Heart Age and Risk Estimates above, your 10- year risk for cardiovascular disease is Moderate.
Ask a doctor what you can do to lower your risk.
Your Heart Age is older than your current age. This indicates that certain risk factors put you at higher CVD risk than others of your same age.
•
• You answered all risk factor questions. Continue to "know your numbers."
• Be very aware of your High and/or Moderate risk factors, especially those risk factors that you can change.
• Discuss this report with your primary care physician or heart specialist.
• Ask your doctor when you are due to have your tests and numbers updated and be aware of the results. Decreasing Your Risk of CVD
Everyone is at risk for cardiovascular disease
(CVD). Some cardiovascular disease risk factors
are beyond your control, such as age or family
history. Others, like blood pressure and
cholesterol, often can be controlled through
lifestyle changes (diet & exercise) and/or
medication.
It is important that you talk with your doctor
about a strategy to reduce your risk factors for
developing CVD.
Remember, in most cases you can decrease your
risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
CVD Risk Factors Your Risk
Family history of early CVD High Risk
Age & sex High Risk
Weight High Risk
Diabetes Moderate Risk
Blood pressure (systolic & diastolic) Moderate Risk Physical activity Moderate Risk
Existing CVD Low Risk
Cholesterol Low Risk
Smoking Low Risk
In the United States, cardiovascular disease is the #1 cause of death. Most who die suddenly from cardiovascular-related disease have no previous symptoms. Because of this, it is important to be aware of your heart health risks. Copyright 2022 - Medicom Health

What is "Heart Age?"
Heart Age is a quick way to get a good idea of your overall heart health. It compares your CVD risk against someone without any risk factors.
For example, if your real age is 55 but your Heart Age is 65, your cardiovascular risk is more like a healthy 65 year-old (without any risk factors).
The fewer risk factors you have, the closer your heart age will be to your actual age. In fact, it may be younger.
What does "Risk of CVD" mean?
This is your chance of having a cardiovascular event (heart attack, stroke, heart failure, or peripheral artery disease) in the future, shown as a percentage .
For example, if your 10-year risk is calculated to be 15%, then it is estimated that 15 out of a hundred people like you will have a cardiovascular event in the next 10 years.
For people younger than 60, this assessment can also calculate 30-year risk of CVD.
What are "CVD Risk Factors"
A cardiovascular disease risk factor is any personal characteristic that increases your chances of CVD, such as high blood pressure. The more total High and Moderate risk factors you have, the more likely you are to develop CVD.
You can work with your doctor to improve many of your risk factors and decrease your risk level.

Risk Factors You CAN Change
Smoking damages the heart and blood
vessels. Smokers have a much higher risk of
cardiovascular disease.
SMOKING
Current
Never smoked
Low Risk
Recommended Goal
Smoke-free at least 1 year
Low Risk
Being overweight or obese increases the risk
of heart disease.
Keeping weight in the healthy range lowers
the risk of heart disease and diabetes. It can
also improve blood pressure and cholesterol.
WEIGHT
Current
236 lbs.
High Risk
Recommended Goal
168 lbs. or less
Low Risk
For your height, 236 pounds is considered obesity. Ask a health care professional about weight management options. Including exercise and other physical
activities in your daily routine can reduce
your risk of stroke.
Regular physical activity improves other risk
factors:
• Weight
• Blood pressure
• Cholesterol
• Blood sugar
WEEKLY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Current
Equal to 20 min. (moderate)*
Moderate Risk
Recommended Goal
150 min. or more (moderate)**
Low Risk
Talk to your doctor about the risk factor(s) shown, including your risk level and what can be done to reduce it.
*20 moderate + 0 vigorous = 20 min. moderate
(each minute of vigorous exercise equals two minutes of moderate)
**The goal is 150 minutes of moderate exercise or
an equivalent mix of moderate and vigorous minutes. The Framingham Heart Study
This assessment uses the Framingham Heart Study to estimate the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It estimates CVD risk in the next 10 years and in the next 30 years for people younger than 60. The Framingham Heart Study is one of the most important public health studies in American medical history. Its goal is to learn why people get heart disease and how the disease progresses. This research helps better understand heart disease and the people who develop it.

Risk Factors You CAN Change
Your personal blood pressure goal should be
determined by your doctor based on several
different health factors.
If your blood pressure is too high, your heart
and blood vessels can be damaged. High
blood pressure is often called the silent killer
because it has no symptoms.
Blood pressure increases as you grow older,
so be sure to have it checked every year.
Blood pressure may be controlled by:
• Exercising regularly
• Maintaining a healthy weight
Eating a healthful diet, including lowering
the amount of salt
•
• Limiting alcohol use
Taking blood pressure medicine (if a
doctor prescribes it)
•
SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE
Current
125 mm Hg
Moderate Risk
Recommended Goal
Less than 120 mm Hg
Low Risk
DIASTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE
Current
75 mm Hg
Low Risk
Recommended Goal
Less than 80 mm Hg
Low Risk
Talk to your doctor about the risk factor(s) shown, including your risk level and what can be done to reduce it. You indicated that you are taking
medication for this risk factor.
Cholesterol is a type of fat that is found in
the blood. It can build up in arteries and
block them, causing heart and blood vessel
disease.
There are no symptoms for abnormal
cholesterol.
A simple blood test will show if you’re
meeting the recommended goals.
Some people can control their cholesterol by
maintaining a healthy weight, being
physically active, and eating a healthy diet.
Other people need medication to reach their
goals.
CHOLESTEROL
Current
Within recommended ranges
Low Risk
Recommended Goal
"Normal" cholesterol ranges
Low Risk
You indicated that you are taking
medication for this risk factor.
"NORMAL" CHOLESTEROL RANGES
Total cholesterol = Less than 200 mg/dL
HDL "good" cholesterol (men) = 40 mg/dL or higher
HDL "good" cholesterol (women) = 50 mg/dL or higher LDL "bad" cholesterol = Less than 100 mg/dL
Triglycerides = Less than 150 mg/dL

Risk Factors You CAN'T Change
Age is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
Risk starts increasing at age 45 for men and
age 55 for women.
AGE & SEX
61 years (Female)
High Risk
Having cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a
major risk factor for heart attack, stroke,
heart failure, and peripheral artery disease
(poor blood flow in the legs). Meeting the
recommended goal for other CVD risk factors
may help lower that risk.
EXISTING CVD
No existing CVD
Low Risk
Includes: heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, stroke or mini-stroke
(TIA), angina or chest pain, and/or peripheral artery disease Diabetes is a major risk factor for
cardiovascular disease. That’s why it’s so
important for people with diabetes to control
all of their other cardiovascular risk factors.
DIABETES
Prediabetes
Moderate Risk
Talk to your doctor about the risk factor(s) shown, including your risk level and what can be done to reduce it. Having a brother or father diagnosed with
cardiovascular disease (CVD) before they
turned 55 years old increases your risk for
CVD. Having a mother or sister with CVD
before age 65 also increases your risk.
FAMILY HISTORY OF EARLY CVD
Early CVD family history
High Risk
