## Description

This clinical decision-support app is intended for use by healthcare professionals and unifies two cardiovascular prevention tools: the 2013 ACC/AHA Pooled Cohort Equations (previously known as the ASCVD Risk Estimator) and the American Heart Association’s PREVENT™ Calculator. Combining traditional ASCVD risk modeling with modern cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM)-inclusive risk equations, CVD Risk Estimator Plus supports comprehensive, personalized cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment and clinician-guided decision-making. The results and recommendations provided by this application are intended to inform but do not replace clinical judgment. Therapeutic options should be individualized and determined after discussion between the patient and their care provider.
 
CVD Risk Estimator Plus computes risk estimates using:
•	2013 ASCVD Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE), which calculate 10-year and lifetime risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease using age, sex, race, blood pressure, cholesterol profile, diabetes status, and smoking status.
•	2023 PREVENT™ Equations, which estimate 10- and 30-year risk for total CVD, ASCVD, and heart failure (HF), incorporating kidney and metabolic health measures such as BMI and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and supporting optional predictors including urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and social deprivation index (SDI).
Clinicians can toggle between Pooled Cohort and PREVENT™ risk trajectories to support guideline-aligned prevention discussions. This clinical decision support app provides:
•	Risk category classification (low, borderline, intermediate, high).
•	Personalized guidance informed by published guidelines, including statin therapy considerations, lifestyle interventions, and risk-enhancing clinical factors.
•	Export functionality supporting print and email of results for documentation and patient communication.
•	Resources page with related tools and informational materials for clinicians and patients, including links to source guidelines and reference documents.

## Review summary

Reviewers repeatedly value the app for guideline-aligned, point-of-care decision support and its all-in-one, patient-and-clinician content. However, they consistently report stability problems (crashes/freezes), a missing or faulty reset function, challenging data-entry (keyboard type and BMI limits), occasional risk-estimate inaccuracies, and outdated compatibility. Overall, it’s a useful tool that needs fixes and updates to maintain reliability and current platform support.

### Pros

- Guideline-aligned decision support for prevention and statin therapy decisions.
- Clear, clean UI that presents information in a simple, easy-to-use format.
- All-in-one resource with content for both clinicians and patients.
- Therapy impact estimates help explain treatment rationale to patients.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and freezes; not updated for current iOS versions, leading to stability and performance issues.
- Missing or non-functional reset/clear functionality, hindering quick recalculation for new patients.
- Data-entry hurdles: numerical fields default to the letter keyboard and BMI input has limits, making data entry error-prone and recalculation difficult.
- Some versions reportedly produce implausible or inaccurate ASCVD risk estimates, reducing trust in results.
- Old codebase and lack of ongoing updates raise compatibility concerns (64-bit/iOS compatibility, app outdated).
