Cardiovascular diseases remain the number one cause of death in Belgium. Cardiovascular risk is influenced amongst others by age, sex, family history, smoking, blood pressure and cholesterol. AOST® focuses on the influence of cholesterol on cardiovascular risk.
The application allows a physician
- to calculate the cardiovascular risk of his patient (SCORE)
- to motivate his patient to treat to LDL target by demonstrating the effect of lowering cholesterol on cardiovascular risk
- to optimize the treatment of a patient by predicting the theoretical LDL-decrease of different therapeutic approaches.
