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.

Recommendations for Identification of Patients at Risk (DO NOT EDIT)
| Class I |
|
"1. Primary care providers should evaluate the presence and status of control of major risk factors for CHD for all patients at regular intervals (approximately every 3 to 5 years). (Level of Evidence: C)" |
|
"2. Ten-year risk (National Cholesterol Education Program [NCEP] global risk) of developing symptomatic CHD should be calculated for all patients who have 2 or more major risk factors to assess the need for primary prevention strategies. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
|
"3. Patients with established CHD should be identified for secondary prevention efforts, and patients with a CHD risk equivalent (e.g., atherosclerosis in other vascular beds, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, or 10-year risk greater than 20% as calculated by Framingham equations) should receive equally intensive risk factor intervention as those with clinically apparent CHD. (Level of Evidence: A)" |
