What is Cardiac risk Group C?

Patients with high-normal blood pressure or hypertension are cross-classified into 3 mutually exclusive risk groups as follows: risk group A—no risk factors and no target organ damage or clinical cardiovascular disease; risk group B—at least 1 associated risk factor (excluding diabetes) and no target organ damage or …

What is CVD risk classification?

Persons with a 10-year CVD event risk greater than 20% are generally considered at high risk, those with a 10-year risk less than 10% are considered at low risk, and those in the 10% to 20% range are considered at intermediate risk.

What are the four main types of CVD?

There are four main types of CVD:

coronary heart disease.
stroke.
peripheral arterial disease.
aortic disease.

What is a good cardiovascular risk score?

If your risk score is between 10-15%, you are thought to be at moderate risk of CVD in the next five years. If your risk score is less than 10%, you are thought to be at low risk of CVD in the next five years.

Which is the best definition of ASCVD clinical risk?

year ASCVD risk ≥7.5% Moderate to high intensity ASCVD=atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; LDL-C=low-density lipoprotein cholesterol An estimated 10-year risk for ASCVD is calculated using the AHA pooled cohort equations,1 available on the ACC/AHA Website. The risk calculator takes into account gender, age, race, total cholesterol, high-density

How are LDL-C goals determined by risk category?

The LDL-C goal for an individual is determined by risk category. The AACE/ACE CPG is the first to introduce a new extreme risk category and recommends an LDL-C goal of less than 55 mg/dL, non-HDL-C less than 80 mg/dL, and apo B less than 70 mg/dL for these patients. 7 Extreme high risk includes patients with:

Which is a secondary target for CVD prevention?

A secondary target, non-HDL-C (calculated by subtracting HDL-C from total cholesterol) provides a simple way to estimate risk from atherogenic lipoproteins, including very low-density lipoprotein, remnants, and Lp (a).

Are there any conflicts of interest in CVD prevention?

The authors and planners have disclosed no potential conflicts of interest, financial or otherwise.
