CardioGuard HF™
Heart Failure Assessment Tool
Physician-designed heart failure risk assessment using the validated MAGGIC scoring system with BNP/NT-proBNP biomarker analysis. Calculate your MAGGIC risk score and receive an AI-powered interpretive report.
Is This Tool Right for You?
This free assessment may be helpful if any of the following apply to you:
What Will You Learn?
This tool calculates your MAGGIC Risk Score — a validated scoring system used by cardiologists worldwide that was developed from studying nearly 40,000 heart failure patients. It tells you three important things:
Where You Stand
A clear risk category (Low, Moderate, High, or Very High) based on your specific health profile
What's Driving Your Risk
A breakdown showing which health factors contribute the most to your score — and which are already in your favor
What You Can Change
An AI-powered report identifying modifiable risk factors and specific steps you can discuss with your doctor
How to Use This Tool
Gather your recent lab results
You'll need your BNP or NT-proBNP level, and ideally your creatinine, blood pressure, and ejection fraction (from an echocardiogram). Don't have labs? You can order them below through ULTA Lab Tests — no doctor's visit required.
Fill in the calculator below
Enter your age, vitals, and lab values. Fields marked with a red * are required. Optional labs (Section D) aren't needed for the score but make the AI analysis more thorough.
Click "Calculate" and get your results instantly
You'll see your MAGGIC score, risk category, and BNP interpretation immediately. Then our AI system (which takes about 20-30 seconds) generates a detailed physician-grade report explaining exactly what your results mean.
Save and share with your doctor
Email your results to yourself, print a PDF, or book a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Kilgore to review your assessment in detail.
Your data is safe. All calculations happen right here in your browser. Your health information is never stored on our servers, sold, or shared with anyone. This tool is designed by a board-certified physician and built to the same privacy standards used in clinical practice.
Don't Have Your Lab Results?
Order a BNP or NT-proBNP test along with a Basic Metabolic Panel and CBC through ULTA Lab Tests. No doctor's visit required. Results typically available within 2-3 business days.
Order Lab TestsOr ask your doctor for these results from your most recent blood work.
Note: Direct-to-consumer lab testing is not available in NY, NJ, RI, or HI.
Basic information used in MAGGIC score calculation.
These are the remaining MAGGIC score components. If you do not know your ejection fraction, select "Unknown / Not tested."
Select which test you have, then enter the value. BNP and NT-proBNP are different tests with different reference ranges.
These enhance the AI analysis but are not required for MAGGIC score calculation.
Score Breakdown by Variable
Each variable's contribution to your total MAGGIC integer score:
| Variable | Your Value | Points |
|---|
