About Calculator:
This tool offers a simple way to estimate personal stroke risk among younger people. By selecting habits, conditions, or lifestyle factors, users can see how certain choices might raise or lower chances of a stroke. It’s designed for awareness only and encourages taking early steps toward healthier living and professional guidance when needed.
CHA₂DS₂‑VASc score is commonly used for adults with atrial fibrillation. Factors such as congestive heart failure or left ventricular dysfunction, high blood pressure, age over 75, diabetes, prior transient ischemic attack or clot, vascular disease, age 65 to 74, and female sex contribute points. Higher totals indicate greater chance of a clot-related event, guiding decisions about preventive medications.
ABCD² score is applied after a transient ischemic attack. Age above 60, elevated blood pressure, symptoms like weakness or speech difficulty, duration of symptoms, and diabetes all add to the total. Scores range from 0 to 7, with low, moderate, and high categories corresponding to likelihood of a repeat event over 2 or 7 days.
ATRIA score focuses on adults with atrial fibrillation, considering factors such as age, previous clot or TIA, kidney issues, and other conditions. Higher points reflect greater chance of future clot events, informing preventive strategies.
For general population use over a 10-year period, MyRisk_Stroke calculator incorporates age, sex, diabetes, congestive heart failure, peripheral artery disease, high blood pressure, smoking, alcohol use, activity level, and psychosocial factors. Scores indicate probability of clot-related events over long term, highlighting areas for lifestyle adjustments and preventive planning.
Framingham score provides a broader estimate of cardiovascular events, including clot-related incidents, for adults. Age, sex, cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, and smoking status are included. Resulting estimates reflect 10-year likelihood of cardiovascular events, offering context for lifestyle changes and potential preventive interventions.
These tools provide estimates rather than certainties. Individual variations, genetics, and unmeasured factors influence outcomes. High scores suggest elevated probability of clot-related incidents and indicate discussion with a medical professional about strategies such as blood pressure management, quitting smoking, physical activity, and possible medications.
