Framingham Stroke Risk Calculator
This Framingham Stroke Risk Calculator estimates the 10-year probability of stroke based on clinical data including age, gender, blood pressure, smoking status, diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and use of antihypertensive treatment. It’s a valuable tool for healthcare professionals and patients to assess and monitor stroke risk in both men and women.

Framingham Stroke Risk Score Formula
The risk score is calculated using coefficients derived from the Framingham Heart Study cohort. These are applied to patient-specific risk factors to estimate the probability of having a stroke over the next 10 years.
The Framingham Stroke Risk Score is a validated clinical tool designed to predict the likelihood of stroke over the next decade. It incorporates major cardiovascular risk factors including age, systolic blood pressure, atrial fibrillation (AF), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), diabetes, smoking, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and antihypertensive medication. Separate scoring systems are used for males and females. This tool helps inform decisions about preventive treatments and lifestyle modifications for stroke prevention.
