IMPORTANT
- This calculator includes inputs based on race, which may or may not provide better estimates, so we have decided to make race optional. See here for more on our approach to addressing race and bias on MDCalc.
- For the same other inputs, this calculator estimates higher cardiovascular risk for African American patients.
