Primary and Secondary Prevention of ASCVD, CAD, Cerebrovascular Accidents Flashcards
When do you beginning screening for CAD/CVA
At age 20 and repeated every 4-6 years in those without established CV or CVD
If age 40-79,
use 10 yera Pooled Cohort Risk Equation to estimate short-term ASCVD risk
If age 20-39 or low risk (<7.5%) and age 40-79
use 30 yera Framingham score
Primary prevention w/o compelling indication =
ACEi/ARB + CCB or Thiazide
Coronary artery disease =
BB + ACEi/ARB
Recurrent stroke prevention =
Thiazide +/- ACEi
CKD or DM =
ACEi/ARB
Glycemic control prevents
Progression of microvascular complications (neuropathy, nephropathy, retinipathy)
Lifestyle modifiications
Cessation of tobacco and avoid environmental exposure
10% weight loss in 6 months (BMI 18.5-24.9)
30 minutes of moderate intensity activity 3-4 times a week
<1 for women
Cardiac rehabilitation
Medically supervised training
Those with a history of CAD esp after MI or Chronic Stable Angina
Define atheroembolic event
Plaque rupture has caused a MI or stroke/TIA
Treatment: Antiplatelets
Atheroembolic event treatment
Aspirin
Define cardioembolic event
Abnormal blood flow, inflamation, or endothelial damage puts you at risk of activation of clotting factors leading to a stroke/TIA
Treatment: Anticoagulants
Cardioembolic event treatment
Coumadin
Primary Prevention of Atheroembolic process (CAD) and Atheroembolic stroke/TIA
Aspirin 75-162 PO daily IF: high risk of ASCVD and NO peptic ulcer disease
Secondary Prevention of Atheroembolic process (CAD)
Silent CAD, Chronic SA, Symptomatic PVD: Aspirin 75-162 mg PO daily or clopidogrel
History of UA/NSTEMI/STEMI: Aspirin + P2Y12 inhibitor for 12 months after initial event (clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor)
Secondary Prevention of Atheroembolic stroke/TIA
Clopidogrel 75 mg QD,
Aggrenox BID OR
Aspirin 5-325 mg QD
- No combos!!
Primary and Secondary Prevention of Cardioembolic stroke/TIA (Afib or valve replacement
CHA2DS2Vasc
