Strengths and Weakness of the Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk Calculation: A Qualitative Study
The PCE ASCVD risk calculator was seen as most useful in facilitating discussions regarding behavior and lifestyle changes, suggesting the potential benefit of incorporating variables related to patients' health behaviors in a revised model. The new PREVENT equations provide a helpful first step by removing race and including social determinants. The next step may be to add health behaviors and visual images to facilitate patient counseling and comprehension.
