Patients who should be treated with secondary prevention are those with established atherosclerosis including peripheral artery disease; carotid artery disease; atherosclerotic aortic disease; diabetes and those with a Framingham Risk Score of > 20%. There are 12 aspects of secondary prevention: Smoking cessation; blood pressure control; lipid-lowering; increasing physical activity; weight loss; diabetes control; antiplatelet agents/anticoagulants; RAS blockers; beta-blockers; depression management; cardiac rehabilitation and influenza vaccine. Please note that secondary prevention guidelines, especially, those involving medication, may differ between UA/NSTEMI; STEMI; and Chronic Stable Angina.
