ASCVD risk stratification gets messy fast—especially when calculators, risk enhancers, and coronary calcium scores all compete for attention. In Part 2 of the LipidCurious ASCVD Risk Stratification mini-series, we focus on how to use these tools without overcomplicating primary prevention or getting lost in the details.

In this episode, we cover:

1. A practical, age-first framework for approaching primary prevention
2. How to use ASCVD risk calculators, risk enhancers, and coronary calcium score—and when not to
3. How to apply this framework consistently in real-world clinical practice

Bonus: Two quick cases—including one where guidelines don’t fit perfectly—and a short, actionable challenge you can start using immediately in clinic.
