Framework only — ESC app/charts for %.
When to use
When to use: apparently healthy adults 40–69 without prior CVD (and without diabetes — use SCORE2-Diabetes when indicated).
How it works
Age, sex, smoking, SBP band, non-HDL band, ESC region → look up ESC SCORE2 chart/app. No invented % here.
Key points
- Framework only — ESC app/charts for %.
- Ages 40–69.
- Next: SCORE2-Diabetes / SCORE2-OP / ASCVD.

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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does SCORE2 CVD Risk Framework (ESC) 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 SCORE2 CVD Risk Framework (ESC) calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: Age band (SCORE2 working ages) 50–54 y, Sex Female, ESC country-risk region Moderate-risk region, Current smoking No, Systolic BP band (mmHg) 140–159, Non-HDL cholesterol band (mmol/L) 4.0–4.9 → Result: SCORE2 framework SCORE2 mid-life cells (50–69)（Sex: Female, Region: Moderate-risk, Smoking: Non-smoker） Inputs: Age band (SCORE2 working ages) 40–44 y, Sex Female, ESC country-risk region Low-risk region, Current smoking No, Systolic BP band (mmHg) 100–119, Non-HDL cholesterol band (mmol/L) <3.0 → Result: SCORE2 framework SCORE2 younger adult cells (40–49)（Sex: Female, Region: Low-risk, Smoking: Non-smoker）
