What the engine reports

Detected clinical pattern

Intermediate 10-Year Risk (7.5% to <20%)

Category from the entered Pooled Cohort Equations risk. 1 risk enhancer(s) present.

  • 10-year risk: 10-year risk 9% · intermediate

Why this pattern was identified

  • Risk enhancers. 1 present: Lp(a) 180 nmol/L. In intermediate risk they favor a statin discussion; they inform a shared decision and do not mandate treatment.

Calculations

Non-HDL cholesterol
148 mg/dL

Total cholesterol minus HDL-C.

Differentials, pitfalls and contradicting signals

  • Lp(a) is largely genetically determined and does not change with statins; it informs overall risk and relatives' risk.
Evidence and rule trace · 4 rules

CV-CALC-01Derived value

Inputs: total cholesterol 200 · HDL-C 52

Non-HDL cholesterol 148 mg/dL.

CV-0410-year ASCVD risk category

Inputs: 10-year risk 9% (Pooled Cohort Equations)

Risk category: intermediate.

CV-05Risk enhancers present

Inputs: intermediate risk · Lp(a) 180 nmol/L

Risk enhancers favor a statin discussion.

CV-06Lipoprotein(a)

Inputs: Lp(a) 180 nmol/L

Elevated Lp(a): a risk enhancer.

10-year risk category (Pooled Cohort Equations)

  1. ✓ Low · <5%

    Lifestyle emphasis

  2. ✓ Borderline · 5 to <7.5%

    Enhancers inform the discussion

  3. ● Intermediate · 7.5 to <20%

    Statin discussion favored; CAC can help

  4. ○ High · ≥20%

    Statin benefit is greatest
