Framingham Heart Study AF Risk Calculator

This document provides a risk assessment tool for atrial fibrillation (AF) based on information from the Framingham Heart Study. It lists various risk factors such as age, sex, height, weight, blood pressure, and medical conditions. Based on the values entered for a 70 year old male with a height of 70 inches, weight of 160 pounds, blood pressure of 130/80, and normal values for other factors, the tool calculates an 8.6% 10-year risk of developing AF. This risk estimate is comparable to someone of the same age and gender with a BMI between 20-24.9 and normal values for other risk factors. The tool was developed by researchers at Boston University and the Framingham
