The test you want to fail: what is cardiovascular risk assessment?
A cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment is a series of questions about age, weight, family history, medical history, and lifestyle habits such as diet and physical activities. With that combined information in consideration, it can calculate the likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease, and provide guidelines on what needs to be monitored or changed in order to reduce the risks. It is a vital tool for the prevention of CVD.
