CVrisk

About the package

CVrisk is a package to calculate various cardiovascular disease risk scores.

Currently available risk scores

  • Framingham 2008 10-year ASCVD risk (model with lipid labs)
  • Framingham 2008 10-year ASCVD risk (model with BMI)
  • ACC/AHA 2013 10-year ASCVD risk
  • MESA 2015 10-year ASCVD risk (traditional risk factors)
  • MESA 2015 10-year ASCVD risk (using coronary artery calcium)

Coming soon

  • Reynolds 2007 10-year ASCVD risk in women
  • Framingham 2009 30-year ASCVD risk

Installation 

# Install from CRAN
install.packages("CVrisk")

# Install the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("vcastro/CVrisk")

Usage

Calculate a single score:

library(CVrisk)
ascvd_10y_accaha(race = "aa", gender = "male", age = 55, 
   totchol = 213, hdl = 50, sbp = 140, 
   bp_med = FALSE, smoker=0, diabetes=0)

Calculate multiple scores for a dataframe and append scores to the dataframe:


compute_CVrisk(sample_data,
   age = "age", race = "race", gender = "gender", bmi = "BMI", sbp = "sbp",
   hdl = "hdl", totchol = "totchol", bp_med = "bp_med", smoker = "smoker",
   diabetes = "diabetes", lipid_med = "lipid_med",
   fh_heartattack = "fh_heartattack", cac = "cac"
)
