  2. DEFINITION PRIMARY Prevention: Modification of risk factors or prevent their development to prevent or delay the onset of CHD. SECONDARY Prevention: Initiation of Rx to reduce recurrent CHD events in patients with CHD. PRIMARY AND A HALFPrevention*: As individuals with subclinical CHD are identified, the distinction between primary and secondary prevention becomes blurred. CHD=Coronary heart disease *Celermajer DS. JACC 2005;45:1994-6

  3. ASPIRIN RECOMMENDATIONS SECONDARY PREVENTION Aspirin (75-325 mg daily) in those with known CHD or carotid artery or leg artery narrowings due to plaque. Aspirin (100-325 mg daily) in those that have undergone CABG surgery*. CABG=Coronary artery bypass graft, CHD=Coronary heart disease *To be administered within the first 48 hours after surgery in order to reduce the risk of saphenous vein graft failure. Doses >162 mg/day may be continued for up to one year.

  4. CLOPIDOGREL EVIDENCE: SECONDARY PREVENTION CLOPIDOGREL IN UNSTABLE ANGINA TO PREVENT RECURRENT EVENTS (CURE) TRIAL 12,562 patients with a NSTE-ACS randomized to daily aspirin (75-325 mg) or clopidogrel (300 mg load, 75 mg thereafter) plus aspirin for 9 months ASPIRIN + CLOPIDOGREL ASPIRIN + PLACEBO RATE OF DEATH, MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, OR STROKE P<0.001 0 3 6 9 12 MONTHS OF FOLLOW UP DAP=Dual antiplatelet therapy, NSTE-ACS=Non ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome The CURE Trial Investigators. NEJM. 2001;345:494-502

  5. ACE INHIBITOR RECOMMENDATIONS SECONDARY PREVENTION An ACE inhibitor in those following a MI, regardless of EF or in those with CAD* along with hypertension (SBP >120 mmHg), LVSD (EF <0.40), heart failure, DM, or CKD. Optional use of an ACE inhibitor in those with low risk CAD*, well controlled CV risk factors, a normal EF, and successful revascularization. ACE=Angiotensin converting enzyme, CAD=Coronary artery disease, CKD=Chronic kidney disease, CV=Cardiovascular, DM=Diabetes mellitus, EF=Ejection fraction, LVSD=Left ventricular systolic dysfunction, MI=Myocardial infarction, SBP=Systolic blood pressure *Defined by previous MI or angiographically significant CAD.

  9. BLOOD PRESSURE RECOMMENDATIONS SECONDARY PREVENTION Initiation or maintenance of lifestyle modification in those with a BP >120/80 mmHg. Use of an ACE inhibitor and/or b-blocker in those with a BP >140/90 mmHg*. Other drugs (i.e., thiazide diuretics) should be added in order to achieve the desired BP. ACE=Angiotensin converting enzyme, BP=Blood pressure, CKD=Chronic kidney disease, DM=Diabetes mellitus *A BP >130/80 mmHg should be used for individuals with CKD or DM

JAMA 2004;292:2217-26.

  11. b-BLOCKER RECOMMENDATIONS* SECONDARY PREVENTION A b-blocker in all patients following a MI. A beta-blocker in all patients with LVSD. A b-blocker in those with other forms of CV disease or DM, unless contraindicated. CV=Cardiovascular, DM=Diabetes mellitus, LVSD=Left ventricular systolic dysfunction, MI=Myocardial infarction *Relative contraindications include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, severe peripheral arterial disease, and a PR interval >0.24 seconds.

  12. CHOLESTEROL MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES SECONDARY PREVENTION Restriction of saturated fat (<7% of total calories) and cholesterol (<200 mg/day) in all patients. Promotion of daily physical activity and weight management in all patients. Increase in w-3 fatty acid consumption in all patients. LDL-C=Low density lipoprotein cholesterol

  13. CHOLESTEROL MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES (CONTINUED) SECONDARY PREVENTION Initiation or intensification of LDL-C lowering drug therapy in those with a baseline or on-treatment LDL-C level >100 mg/dl. Initiation of LDL-C lowering drug therapy in those with a baseline LDL-C level <100 mg/dl based on clinical judgment. LDL-C=Low density lipoprotein cholesterol

  14. CHOLESTEROL MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES (CONTINUED) GOALS RECOMMENDATIONS As set forth by the Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) • Obtain a fasting lipid profile in all patients. For those with a myocardial infarction, a fasting lipid profile should be obtained within 24 hrs of admission. • Start therapeutic lifestyle changes in all patients, including: • Reduced intakes of saturated fats (<7% of total calories) and cholesterol (<200 mg/day) • Addition of plant stanols/sterols (2 g/day) and viscous fiber (10-25 g/day) to enhance LDL-C lowering • Weight reduction • Increased physical activity Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults. JAMA 2001;285:2486.

  15. ATP III LDL-C GOALS AND CUT-POINTS FOR DRUG THERAPY *Risk factors for cardiovascular disease include: cigarettes smoking, hypertension (blood pressure >140/90 mmHg or on antihypertensive medication, HDL-C <40 mg/dl (>60 mg/dl is a negative risk factor), family history of premature CHD, age >45 years in men or >55 years in women. ATP=Adult Treatment Panel, CHD=Coronary heart disease, LDL-C=Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TLC=Therapeutic lifestyle changes Grundy, S. et al. Circulation 2004;110:227-39.

Lancet 2002;360:7-22

  20. CIGARETTE SMOKING CESSATION GUIDELINES GOALS RECOMMENDATIONS Complete cessation No environmental tobacco smoke exposure Ask about tobacco use at every visit. In a clear, strong, and personalized manner, advise the patient to stop smoking. Urge avoidance of exposure to secondhand smoke at work and home. Assess the patient’s willingness to quit smoking. Develop a plan for smoking cessation and arrange follow-up. Provide counseling, pharmacologic therapy, and referral to formal smoking cessation programs as indicated.

  21. SMOKING CESSATION PHARMACOTHERAPY* *Pharmacotherapy combined with behavioral support provides the best success rate **Other nicotine replacement therapy options include: nicotine gum, lozenge, inhaler, nasal spray

  22. SMOKING CESSATION PHARMACOTHERAPY: VARENICLINE Two trials compared treatment with varenicline, a nicotine acetylcholine receptor agonist, to treatment with buproprion or placebo. These trials included a total of almost 700 participants. The mean duration of smoking was 25 years. Varenicline yielded higher rates of smoking cessation than buproprion or placebo. Study 1 p<0.001 for V vs B p<0.001 for V vs P Study 2 p<0.001 for V vs B p<0.001 for V vs P JAMA 2006:296:47-55 and JAMA 2006;296:56-63

  23. WEIGHT MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES GOALS RECOMMENDATIONS Calculate BMI* and measure waist circumference as part of evaluation. Monitor response of BMI and waist circumference to therapy. BMI 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2 Women: <35 inches Men: <40 inches Start weight management and physical activity as appropriate. If BMI and/or waist circumference is above goal, initiate caloric restriction, measures to increase caloric expenditure, and treatment strategies for the metabolic syndrome. 10% weight reduction within the first year of therapy BMI=Body mass index *BMI is calculated as the weight in kilograms divided by the body surface area in meters2. Overweight state is defined by BMI=25-30 kg/m2. Obesity is defined by a BMI >30 kg/m2.

  26. DIABETES MELLITUS GUIDELINES GOALS RECOMMENDATIONS Goal HbA1C <7% • Intensive lifestyle modification to prevent the development of DM (especially in those with the metabolic syndrome) • Aggressive management of CV risk factors (i.e., tobacco use, hypertension, dyslipidemia, physical inactivity, and overweight and obese states) • Hypoglycemic therapy to achieve normal to near normal fasting plasma glucose as defined by the HbA1C (<7%) • Weight reduction and exercise • Oral hypoglycemic agents • Insulin therapy • Coordination of diabetic care with the patient’s primary physician and/or endocrinologist. CV=Cardiovascular, DM=Diabetes mellitus, HbA1C=Glycosylated hemoglobin

  27. EXERCISE GUIDELINES GOALS RECOMMENDATIONS • Assess risk, preferably with exercise test, to guide prescription. • Encourage aerobic activity (e.g., walking, jogging, cycling) supplemented by an increase in daily activities (e.g., walking breaks at work, gardening, household work). • Encourage resistance training (e.g., weight machines, free weights) 2 days a week (Class IIb, Level C) • Encourage cardiac rehabilitation for patients with chronic stable angina, recent myocardial infarction, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, or recent coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Minimum: 30 minutes, 5 days per week Optimal: 30 minutes daily

  28. EJECTION FRACTION GUIDELINES SECONDARY PREVENTION Echocardiography in those following a STEMI to re-evaluate ventricular function when results are used to guide therapy*. Echocardiography or radionuclide angiography in those following a NSTE-ACS when results are used to guide therapy*.
