Stroke Risk Calculator

The stroke risk calculator below can be used to assess your risk of having a stroke within the next 10 years. Please note that this calculation is an estimate only - please see your doctor for an accurate diagnosis, as there may be other contributing risk factors.

Please Note:

For more accurate results, you will be asked to provide your most recent blood pressure reading.

If you do not have this information, you can still complete the test. Your primary health care provider will be able to carry out a blood pressure test and give you your results.

If you do not have this information available it is not possible to complete the stoke risk calculator.

Please make an appointment with your primary health care provider to check your systolic blood pressure level. This information will help more accurate calculation of your heart risk.
