Enter the variables below. This legacy formula is retained for review only and is not a validated risk calculator.

Clinical validity warning: The original PHP describes its coefficients as an example approximation, and its cited publication could not be verified. This tool therefore does not report a 10-year ASCVD risk percentage or treatment recommendation. Do not use the output for clinical decisions.

About this calculator

The original file labels this tool an “ASCVD-DM Subscore” and includes age, sex, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive treatment, smoking status, and diabetes duration.

The source does not provide a verifiable derivation cohort, validation study, calibration method, or clinically established risk categories. Its output must not be interpreted as a patient's 10-year event probability.

Coefficients in the original source

VariableCoefficient in source file
Age+0.048 × age
Male sex+0.12 × sex indicator
Total cholesterol+0.02 × total cholesterol
HDL cholesterol−0.02 × HDL cholesterol
Systolic blood pressure+0.014 × systolic BP
Antihypertensive treatment+0.1 × treatment indicator
Current smoking+0.2 × smoking indicator
Diabetes duration+0.03 × duration

These coefficients are reproduced for transparency, not endorsed as a clinical prediction equation.

Clinical use and references

For clinical risk assessment, use a validated equation appropriate to the patient, intended outcome, local guidance, and population.
