What's your heart age?
Your birth certificate has one number. Your cardiovascular system might be running on another. This estimate is based on a validated cardiovascular risk model, built for U.S. lab values (mg/dL), blood pressure in mmHg, and height/weight in feet, inches, and pounds.
Don't know your blood pressure or cholesterol off the top of your head? That's fine — just say so, and we'll work with what you've got.
This is an educational estimate based on the General Cardiovascular Risk Profile (D'Agostino et al., Framingham Heart Study, Circulation, 2008), which has two published versions: one using cholesterol levels, and one substituting body mass index when labs aren't available. Both are used here depending on what you entered. The "ideal" comparison profile uses total cholesterol 180 mg/dL, HDL 50 mg/dL, BMI 22.5, systolic blood pressure 120 mmHg untreated, non-smoking, and no diabetes diagnosis. If you didn't know your blood pressure, a typical reading for your age was used instead of a personal one. Family history is noted above but isn't part of the numeric score — it's an independent factor worth mentioning to whoever reviews these numbers with you. This tool does not account for medications other than blood pressure treatment, is not a diagnosis, and does not replace evaluation by a healthcare provider.
This calculator is built for people without a personal history of heart disease, heart attack, or stroke — so a single "heart age" number wouldn't give you an accurate picture here, and could honestly be misleading either way.
What matters more for you is what's actually being tracked: your current numbers, your medications, and what's changed since your diagnosis — worth a conversation with whoever's managing your care.
