Overview
Risk Equivalents in Primary Prevention
You are essentially considered to have the equivalent of coronary heart disease if you have any of the following:
- Aortic aneurysm
- Diabetes
- Framingham Risk Score (FRS) of > 20%
- Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) (defined as claudication, an Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) of < 0.9)
- Symptomatic carotid artery disease (defined as prior stroke or TIA)
CV Risk Factors in the Setting of Primary Prevention
- Cigarette smoking
- Family history of premature coronary artery disease (CAD)
- High LDL (defined as LDL > 130 mg /dl)
- Hypertension ( defined as a BP ≥140/90 mm Hg or if the patient is on antihypertensive drugs)
- Low HDL (defined as HDL < 40 mg/dL males, < 50 mg/dL in females)
- Older Age (men ≥45 years old; women ≥55 years old)
