1. Alternative to Calcium Scoring
The PREVENT calculator can predict heart disease risk nearly as accurately as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans, making cardiovascular risk assessments more accessible to the general public.

2. Key Health Markers
The calculator uses data like age, blood pressure, total cholesterol, HDL, BMI, diabetes status, and more. Understanding and managing these metrics can significantly reduce long-term cardiovascular risk.

3. Early Awareness
With tools like PREVENT, individuals no longer have to wait for symptoms or expensive procedures to assess heart disease risk. Early detection through simple metrics enables proactive lifestyle changes that could save lives.
