If you know your blood pressure and cholesterol then you can use the calculator below to calculate your chances of developing CVD over the next 5 years. If you know your total cholesterol but not your HDL then use "1" for the HDL value. You can also see the effect of e.g. stopping smoking or a lower cholesterol by redoing your calculation changing these variables.
