🩺 AUB-HAS2 Cardiovascular Risk Index
UseWhen to use: preoperative cardiovascular risk discussions alongside RCRI.
StrataHigher scores associate with higher major CV event rates.
LimitsWhen not to use: replacing full anesthesia assessment. · Pitfall: missing occult heart disease. · Not a sole cancel-surgery rule.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.

|---|---|
| Age ≥75 years | No (0) |
| Symptoms of angina or dyspnea | No (0) |
| Hemoglobin <12 g/dL | No (0) |
| Vascular surgery | No (0) |
| Emergency surgery | No (0) |

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does AUB-HAS2 Cardiovascular Risk Index upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is AUB-HAS2 Cardiovascular Risk Index calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: History of heart disease No (0), Age ≥75 years No (0), Symptoms of angina or dyspnea No (0), Hemoglobin <12 g/dL No (0), Vascular surgery No (0), Emergency surgery No (0) → Result: AUB-HAS2 0 /6（Band: 0 — low published event rate） Inputs: History of heart disease Yes (+1), Age ≥75 years Yes (+1), Symptoms of angina or dyspnea Yes (+1), Hemoglobin <12 g/dL Yes (+1), Vascular surgery Yes (+1), Emergency surgery Yes (+1) → Result: AUB-HAS2 6 /6（Band: ≥3 — high risk band）
