Optimal risk factor levels used for comparison of individual and optimal risk. The HerzFit calculator compares individual risks with the optimal risk level. These parameters were used to obtain the optimal risk. In secondary prevention, the optimal risk is estimated for individual-specific underlying cardiovascular disease and the individual time span since the first event.
