:
CHD<10%, low risk
10%<CHD<20%, medium risk
CHD>20%, high risk
According to the ACC/AHA guidelines, individuals who are assessed by the
ACC10 method should be under a doctor’s care if they have a risk of 7.5% or

In FRA10 and PRO10 mode, results below 1.0% will display “<1.0%” and
results above 30.0% will display “>30.0%”. When the concentration of
calculation factors are out of range, the result will display “- -”. Please refer to
Table.1 below for details.
