Cardiovascular Risk and Decision Tools
Description
This skill provides structured calculation guidance for commonly used cardiovascular risk scores and related decision tools. It supports accurate input collection, calculation, interpretation, and safety caveats.
Quick Reference
| Tool | Use |
|---|---|
| ASCVD Pooled Cohort Equations | 10-year ASCVD risk estimation |
| CHA2DS2-VASc | Stroke risk in atrial fibrillation |
| HAS-BLED | Major bleeding risk in anticoagulated patients |
| Framingham Risk Score | 10-year cardiovascular risk (general CVD) |
| HEART Score | Chest pain risk stratification |
| CURB-65 | Pneumonia severity and disposition support |
| Wells (DVT) | DVT pretest probability |
| Wells (PE) | Pulmonary embolism pretest probability |
Interactive Mode (Lightweight)
- Confirm clinical context and intended tool.
- Collect required inputs with units and timing.
- Validate inputs and resolve missing data.
- Calculate and present results with interpretation.
- Provide safety caveats and limitations.
