Abstract
Cardiovascular risk varies substantially by age, sex, and race. These data allow for 10-year absolute risks of ASCVD to be translated into a standardized cardiovascular risk percentile, providing patients with information that is easy to understanding regarding how their personal risk of cardiovascular disease compares with their age-, sex-, and race-matched peers.
