My Heart Check is a screening tool which helps you understand your heart health and your risk of heart attack and stroke. It isn’t accurate for people who have:
had a heart attack, stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA)
angina or peripheral artery disease
a stent or have had heart bypass surgery
a serious mental illness, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, severe depression or schizoaffective disorder
Do any of these apply to you? (Required)
Why is this needed? Select An Answer No
Yes
If you have one of these conditions this calculator may
underestimate your risk of heart attack and stroke. Please talk to your doctor for advice on how to manage your condition.
This tool will underestimate
your future risk of heart disease. Talk to your doctor about managing this risk. If you have a serious mental illness,
you’ll need to get a heart check with your doctor from the age of 25.
Age (Required) This tool is designed for people between 30 and 75. You can use it if
you are younger, but your results may not be as accurate.
If you’re over 75, talk to your doctor about getting a heart
check.
Biological sex (Required)
Why is this needed? Your biological sex affects your risk of heart disease. If you'd
rather not
say, your result will be less accurate.
