cardiovascular-risk

name	cardiovascular-risk
description	Use when estimating cardiovascular risk, stroke risk in atrial fibrillation, bleeding risk, pneumonia severity (CURB-65), or venous thromboembolism probability (Wells DVT/PE). Includes ASCVD PCE, CHA2DS2-VASc, HAS-BLED, Framingham, HEART, CURB-65, and Wells scores.

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)

1. Confirm clinical context and intended tool.
2. Collect required inputs with units and timing.
3. Validate inputs and resolve missing data.
4. Calculate and present results with interpretation.
5. Provide safety caveats and limitations.

Calculators

• ASCVD Pooled Cohort Equations
• CHA2DS2-VASc
• HAS-BLED
• Framingham Risk Score
• HEART Score
• CURB-65
• Wells Score (DVT)
• Wells Score (PE)

Safety and Limitations

• Support tool only; not diagnostic or prescriptive.
• Use local policies and clinical judgment.
• Many tools have population limits and invalid ranges.
