Welcome to the QRISK^®2 cardiovascular disease risk calculator

Welcome to the QRISK^®2 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.

Whilst QRISK^®2 is intended for use in the UK, it has not been accepted as yet for clinical use. 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.

Using QRISK^®2 in your own system

A software development kit is available to build the QRISK^®2 engine into healthcare systems. Details of this, and of a QRISK^®2 batch processor, for both clinical and academic use, can be found here.

A standalone QRISK^®2 calculator, similar to this web calculator, is available from here. It is similar in look and feel to this web calculator, however, it does not require internet access, and is licenced for commercial/healthcare use.
