If you're really interested in your own cardiovascular risk, go to this site and download the British Heart Foundation risk assessor. I use it all the time in clinical practice. You'll need your blood pressure and full lipid profile:

Of course, I am not then allowed to treat cholesterol to the Joint British Societies target of 4. My patients have to make do with 5, because they live in Britain.
