Estimating vascular age SCORE Canada

This guide illustrates how to estimate vascular age using the SCORE Canada tool for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment. For a 53-year-old male smoker with a systolic blood pressure of 146 mmHg and a total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio of 5, the next 10 years' risk of CVD death is estimated to be 3%. The vascular age result can help in understanding long-term health risks. A comparison is made with a non-smoker of the same age and different health metrics, emphasizing the importance of risk factors in estimating vascular age and CVD risk.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Estimating vascular ageSCORE Canada For example : • Male, Age 53 • Smoker • Syst BP = 146mmHg • T Chol/HDL-C ratio = 5 The next 10 years risk of CVD death is 3%

  2. Exercise: Estimating vascular age withSCORE Canada • Male, Age 53 • Smoker • Syst BP = 146mmHg • T Chol/HDL-C ratio = 5 Risk estimate Low risk • • • • The next 10 years risk of CVD death is 3% Vascular age = .......... years

  3. Exercise: Estimating vascular age withSCORE Canada • Male, Age 53 • Smoker • Syst BP = 146mmHg • T Chol/HDL-C ratio = 5 Risk estimate Low risk • Male • Non smoker • Syst. BP < 140/90 mmHg • T Chol/HDL-C ratio = 3 The next 10 years risk of CVD death is 3% Vascular age = .......... years

  4. 10 year risk of fatal CVD CVD risk for • Male, • 53 years old • Smoker, • Syst. BP =146 mmHg, • T Chol/HDL-C ratio = 5 Similar CVD risk for • Male • Non smoker, • Syst. BP = 130 mmHg. • T Chol /HDL-C ratio = 3 65 years old

  5. Estimating vascular ageSCORE Canada • Male, Age 53 • Smoker • Syst BP = 146mmHg • T Chol/HDL-C ratio = 5 The next 10 years risk of CVD death is 3% • Male • Non smoker, • Syst BP = 130mmHg, • T Chol/HDL-C ratio = 3 Vascular age: 65
