Seth J. Baum, MD, discusses the "state of ASCVD risk assessment" in 2020 and highlights the potential COVID-19-related setbacks in cardiovascular health as healthy activity is limited, cooking and eating are ever-present in the media, and many individuals with chronic conditions, including hypertension, congestive heart failure, ACS, remain reluctant to make in-person appointments for follow-up.
