Overview
Similar to patients with STEMI, patients with UA/NSTEMI also require secondary prevention at the time of discharge. Patients and their families should be educated regarding the specific targets for LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, and other appropriate lifestyle modifications.
You can read in greater detail about each of the ACC/AHA guidelines for long term medical therapy after UA/NSTEMI as well as for risk factor modification by clicking on the link below:[1]
Antiplatelet Therapy | Beta Blockers | Inhibition Of The Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System | Nitroglycerin Therapy| Calcium Channel Blockers | Warfarin Therapy | Lipid Management | Blood Pressure Control | Smoking Cessation | Weight Management | Physical Activity | Patient Education | Influenza | Depression | Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs | Hormone Therapy | Antioxidant Vitamins and Folic Acid | Quality Care and Outcomes
Identifying and, when present, treating Category I risk factors can be an optimal secondary prevention strategy in patients with UA/NSTEMI. You can read more about general coronary heart disease secondary prevention HERE
