Calculate and discuss a patient's Cardiovascular Age to improve the likelihood they will reach lipid targets and that poorly controlled hypertension will be treated. (Recommendation Strong, Quality High).

Values and Preferences

• Primary evaluation of risk is modified 10-year FRS
• Simultaneous evaluation of cardiometabolic risk for diabetes might be useful to motivate lifestyle changes (considering the overlap in risk factors with FRS)
• 10-year risk does not fully account for risk in younger individuals – calculation of Cardiovascular Age has been shown to motivate subjects to achieve risk factor targets
