What it calculates

The “Bova Score” calculator computes Bova score in points from 4 parameters: systolic bp (mmHg), heart rate (bpm), elevated cardiac troponin (1 = yes), rv dysfunction on echo or ct (1 = yes).

Used by professionals and patients to assess health metrics, dosages, and risks.

Example calculation

With parameters Systolic BP = 115 mmHg, Heart rate = 100 bpm, Elevated cardiac troponin (1 = yes) = 0, RV dysfunction on echo or CT (1 = yes) = 0 the result is 0 points (Only for patients with SBP ≥ 90 mmHg).

How to use

  1. Enter systolic bp, heart rate, elevated cardiac troponin (1 = yes) and rv dysfunction on echo or ct (1 = yes) — each field above is adjustable with a slider.
  2. Bova score (points) is calculated automatically as you type.
  3. Check the worked example below to see the formula applied to real numbers.
  4. Copy the result or bookmark this calculator.

FAQ

How is BMI calculated?
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)². Example: 70 kg / (1.75 m)² = 22.9. The WHO normal range is 18.5–24.9; below that is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
No. BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes may show a high BMI with low body fat. It is also less reliable for teenagers, pregnant people, older adults, and very tall or short individuals.
What are the BMI categories?
Underweight: below 18.5. Normal: 18.5–24.9. Overweight: 25–29.9. Obese class I: 30–34.9; class II: 35–39.9; class III: 40+.
What is a better measure than BMI?
Body fat percentage, waist-to-height ratio (aim for under 0.5), and waist circumference give a clearer picture of health than BMI alone.
