HEART HEALTH - QRISK3 ASSESSMENT.
Do you want to know if you’re at risk of having a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years? Ever heard of QRISK3?
It might just be one of the most important health checks you’ll ever take.
What is QRISK3?
QRISK3 is a clinical tool used by medical professionals to estimate your risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) including heart attack or stroke within the next 10 years.
It’s a modern, evidence-based assessment that helps predict future heart problems before they happen.
Developed in the UK and widely used globally, QRISK3 takes multiple personal and medical factors into account to give a percentage-based risk score.
What Does QRISK3 Consider?
Your QRISK3 score is calculated using several key parameters:
•Age
•Sex
•Ethnicity
•Smoking status
•Blood pressure (systolic)
•Cholesterol levels
•Body mass index (BMI)
•Existing conditions like:
•Diabetes (Type 1 or 2)
•Rheumatoid arthritis
•Mental health conditions
Interpreting the Result:
Your result will be a percentage risk of having a heart attack or stroke in the next 10 years:
•Low Risk: Less than 10%
•Moderate Risk: 10–20%
•High Risk: Over 20%
Even a moderate risk is a reason to act early.
What Should You Do With This Info?
If your QRISK3 score is:
🔹 Low – Great! Keep up the healthy lifestyle.
🔹 Moderate or High – Time to take action. This may include:
•Lifestyle changes: diet, exercise, weight loss
•Stopping smoking
•Managing blood pressure or cholesterol
•Medication (statins - Artovastatin, simvastatin).
•Closer monitoring by a doctor.
