Risk assessment

​

The Australian Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance (ACDPA) incorporates the National Vascular Disease Prevention Alliance (NVDPA) and its work to promote risk assessment and early detection of cardiovascular disease, through health checks and management of risk factors. Members promote an ‘absolute risk’ approach to predicting cardiovascular disease risk.

The 2023 Guideline replaces the Guidelines for the management of absolute cardiovascular disease risk (2012).​
