CVD Risk Estimator Plus User Reviews

Top reviews

Needs work

Unable to input BMI if over 39.9 currently.

Not downloading.

Will not download.

Doesn't mention bariatric surgery.

Should include bariatric surgery recommendations for patients that qualify. There are quite a few studies looking at CV risk reduction after surgery. The data should be included in this app. This app appears to ignore a major factor that plays a role (obesity) in about 35% (conservatively) of patients.

Useless

Not calculating, waste time

Not working any longer

After all of the information is typed in, it is no longer calculating the current 10 yr risk percentage.

Entered age 50, got error

It said the age had to be between 40 and 71

App needs updating

Please update the app to reflect that aspirin is no longer indicated for primary prevention!

Defective

The app returns an estimated risk based on current data. However the Therapy impact suggests various scenarios that are imprudent. Start HBP meds when the patient doesn’t have HBP. Or intensify Statins for patients whose risk is less than 7.5%

Totally inaccurate

This new version has some serious flaws. In addition to being harder to navigate than previous versions, it gives seriously incorrect values for ASCVD risk - last two patients I profiled both came back at 1.1% 10 year risk which is just not possible in the population I am seeing. Last person had a total cholesterol of 334! And still came back as 1.1% risk. Please scrap this version and go back to the old one.

I miss old version

I miss the old version which included more details on statins with high/moderate vs low intensity statins. A little harder to use now.

Useful app

The estimation of therapy impact is useful and can be shown to patients so they understand rationale of treatment. The biggest fault is that fields requiring numerical data defaults to letter keyboard. It should automatically bring up the numerical keyboard to ease the burden of data entry.

A new defect

Thenk you for adding a reset button. But now, when we enter a value (which must be done 5 times) it defaults now to the letter type screen, not the numerical. This requires another keystroke for every number that needs to be entered.
This may not sound like much, but since we use it for every patient who gets a lipid panel. this is adding up to a pain. It reminds me too much of my old EHR.
Can I somehow revert to the previous version? Thankfully another group has one called the "ASCVD suite" which avoids this wrong screen problem.

Please update!

I use this app all the time but it's listed in my phone as one that won't work with the ios11 update 😟 please update to a 64-bit version!!

Needs to be Updated

I like this tool as its results and recommendations are consistem with the joint 2013 recommendations of the American Colege of Cardiology and the American Heart Association, but it needs to be updated to 64 bit version. I believe that it will not run on the next version of the iOS.

Update required!

Thank you for the app. It's really useful but Please update the app soon. This is so out of date.

Useful but they really need to update it

Frequently crashes and I always get a warning "this application may slow down your phone" every time I open the app. It hasn't been updated since 2014. 3 years? I'd pay for the app if they would just make it comparable with the new iOS.

Buggy

Nice app that condenses a lot of information into simple format. Unfortunately, like my peers, it NEEDS A RESET BUTTON. It constantly freezes up and requires me to delete the app and reinstall. 5 stars if it would function appropriately.

No reset, has bugs

Does not allow recalculation or to change input data.
It's sad to see that no one has bothered to fix this issue.

Needs improvement

Would be great to have refresh button, so that after using it one 1 patient, one can clear input fields, and re-use app with another patient.
Currently, this is not an option and makes use if the app cumbersome and time consuming.
Please look into this.
Thanks
