Hypertension risk

A cardiovascular risk score for hypertensive patients admitted to hospital.

This mobile App is a medical calculator indicating the likelihood that an inpatient diagnosed with hypertension will have a cardiovascular disease in one year.

To calculate this likelihood we need to know the following patient parameters at the time of hospitalization: gender, myocardial infarct, problems with usual activities, age, congestive heart failure and peripheral vascular disease.

To give this likelihood the App will calculate a total score based on the risk afforded by the above parameters. A patient will have a greater risk of death if that patient is male, has a higher number of cardiovascular comorbidities, has any problems with usual activities and is older. According to the score obtained the patient will have a probability associated with a cardiovascular disease.

If a patient has a high probability of a cardiovascular disease, special emphasis should be placed on the follow-up.
