"description": "The 2013 ASCVD Risk Calculator is a vital tool for estimating the 10-year risk of heart disease or stroke. Developed by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA), this calculator helps healthcare providers assess cardiovascular risk and guide management strategies. By inputting key patient data, including age, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and smoking status, clinicians can make informed decisions about lifestyle changes and statin therapy to reduce the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)."
