Overall Comment
What is so great about this app is that it can give you your risk for heart disease, and it can also tell you about some therapies and the potential risk reduction impact of the therapies. It also has an advice section where it makes suggestions on how you can lower your heart disease risk. It is easy to use. It requires information like your cholesterol level, your blood pressure, and other factors. It is generally used by physicians to calculate patients' risk factors but patients can also use it themselves to be more proactive in their cardiovascular care.
Pros
It allows patients to be more proactive about their health care. When patients understand why they are doing certain preventative measures, I think they are more likely to be compliant with therapy.
Cons
It does require recent blood work that you may not have readily available but this can be easily overcome.
