Some common class of drugs for hypertension include diuretics, beta blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and calcium channel blockers (CCB).

Yes

*You must complete all the questions to move on to the next section.

Have you ever been diagnosed with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)?
*

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) includes a range of conditions such as a heart attack or severe chest pain diagnosed as unstable angina caused by sudden reduced blood flow to the heart.

Yes

Have you been diagnosed with an atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), other than ACS?
*

Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) happens when fatty buildup (plaque) clogs the arteries, reducing blood flow to the heart, brain, or body. This can lead to heart attacks, strokes, or other serious issues.

Yes

Have you been diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH)?
*

Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic condition in which high LDL cholesterol levels are passed down in families.

Yes

Have you been diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?
*

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) means your kidneys slowly lose their ability to filter waste and extra fluid from your blood over time. This can lead to a buildup of toxins in the body and cause serious health problems. It often develops silently and is linked to diabetes, high blood pressure, and other long-term conditions.

Yes

Have you ever been diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus (DM)?
*

Yes

Low Risk (SG-FRS <5%)

Your calculated risk of developing heart disease or stroke within the next 10 years is less than 5%.

Based on your input, consider an ideal LDL-C target of <3.4 mmol/L (<130 mg/dL).¹

It is still important that you test your blood cholesterol regularly. You can also utilise the following resources to support your blood cholesterol management journey:

Resources

Borderline Risk (SG-FRS 5 - <10%)

Your calculated risk of developing heart disease or stroke within the next 10 years is between 5-<10%.

Based on your input, consider a LDL-C target of <3.4 mmol/L (<130 mg/dL).¹

Speak to your healthcare provider to develop a blood cholesterol management plan and ensure you test your blood cholesterol regularly. You can also utilise the following resources to support your blood cholesterol management journey:

Intermediate Risk (SG-FRS 10 - 20%)

Your calculated risk of developing heart disease or stroke within the next 10 years is between 10 - 20%.

Based on your input, consider a LDL-C target of <2.6 mmol/L (<100 mg/dL).¹

High Risk (SG-FRS> 20)

Your calculated risk of developing heart disease or stroke within the next 10 years is over 20%.

Based on your input, consider a LDL-C target of <1.8 mmol/L (<70 mg/dL).¹
