Abbreviation: ASCVD, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; BP, blood pressure; HTN, hypertension.

aASCVD risk: prediction score of percentage risk of having a major cardiovascular event in 10 y, calculated for all participants aged 40–79 y using the American College of Cardiology equation with input of age, sex, race, systolic BP, diastolic BP, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, history of diabetes, smoking status, and HTN treatment status, available at https://tools.acc.org/ascvd-risk-estimator-plus/#!/calculate/estimate.

bASCVD risk category: 10-year categories are defined as: low (<5% risk), borderline (5%–7.4% risk), intermediate (7.5%–19.9% risk), or high (≥20% risk).
