I just took the test, and the results said that I could have a systolic pressure up to 195 and still be considered LOW risk. Something seems wrong. It doesn't even ask for a diastolic reading, which everyone says is so important.

I took it too and skewed it on purpose with different variables...
It seems odd that a 59 yr. old female non-smoker with no diabetes, no present/past heart disease, no history of stroke, normal creatinine, BUT with a total cholesterol of 280 and systolic BP of 190 would be considered at "average" risk.
PS SHADEPRA- Just an addendum for you...for years most emphasis was placed by clinicians on diastolic BP...but now, the systolic is considered a greater predictor of future cardiovascular events than diastolic.

I can't put in my age, the calc won't let me so I put in 35, I am at a high risk, which sucks, cause im only 23 :(

Thanks max,
I love your fascination with tables and charts...keep 'em coming.
I tallied in at Low risk...1.2%
For grins I fiddled the systolics:
At 130: 1.07% chance of a fast kickoff.
At 140: 1.2%
At 150: 1.33%
Not a huge difference.

Risk of my death by heart attack within the next 5 years due to cardiovascular disease vs. my 4 HBP medications since 1999:

It dosn't work for me either, I'm too young, and my systolic blood presure is too low.

Oh, to be TOO young and with a systolc TOO low <sigh>!
