Overview
- Major risk factors for development of coronary heart disease have been established from several long term epidemiological studies[1] [2].
- Various clinical trials have demonstrated that development of coronary diseases can be prevented or the risk of experiencing UA/NSTEMI in patients who have coronary heart disease can be lowered by modifying these risk factors[3][4][5].
- The risk factors include:
- Smoking
- Overweight or obese
- Abnormal lipid profile
- Diabetes Mellitus
- Elevated blood pressure
- Physical inactivity
- Advanced age
- 10 year risk of developing coronary heart disease can be assessed using calculator based on Framingham Heart Study[6] here.
