Cardiovascular risk can be easily recognized when one or more risk factors are highly elevated. However, a far better indicator is "absolute" risk which is determined by adding all the risk factors together even if they are only mildly elevated.

Our mission is to provide physicians and patients with the Grimm Meter; a simple tool to calculate absolute risk and increase the likelihood that many of these unnecessary deaths can be prevented.

For the last 30 years, Dr. Richard Grimm and his wife Jeanne, inventors of the Grimm Meter, have dedicated themselves to improving cardiovascular health. Dr. Grimm, a renowned cardiologist, and Jeanne, an award winning writer, have worked tirelessly to make their cutting-edge tool available to all people. In some cases, access to this type of resource is reserved for those with high-end corporate insurance plans. The Grimm’s have gone above and beyond to make the Grimm Meter available at a price everyone can afford.
