Welcome to the QRISK®2-2012 risk calculator: http://qrisk.org

This calculator is only valid if you do not already have a diagnosis.

Please check out

  • http://qintervention.org, which has both QRISK®2 and QDiabetes®, and will be updated to the 2012 versions of both soon; and
  • http://qrisk.org/lifetime, a newer, competing risks model, which displays people's risk of heart attack or stroke over the whole of their life. QRISK®-lifetime is the risk engine used at the heart of the new JBS3 calculator.

Welcome to the QRISK®2-2012 cardiovascular disease risk calculator

Welcome to the QRISK®2-2012 Web Calculator. You can use this calculator to work out your risk of having a heart attack or stroke over the next ten years by answering some simple questions. It is suitable for people who do not already have a diagnosis of heart disease or stroke.

The QRISK®2 algorithm has been developed by doctors and academics working in the UK National Health Service and is based on routinely collected data from many thousands of GPs across the country who have freely contributed data for medical research. It is updated annually each April, refitted to the latest data to remain as accurate as possible.

Whilst QRISK2 has been developed for use in the UK, it is being used internationally. For non-UK use, if the postcode field is left blank the score will be calculated using an average value. Users should note, however, that CVD risk is likely to be under-estimated in patients from deprived areas and over-estimated for patients from affluent areas. All medical decisions need to be taken by a patient in consultation with their doctor. The authors and the sponsors accept no responsibility for clinical use or misuse of these score.

The science underpinning the new QRISK®2 equations has been published in the British Medical Journal.
