2012 ACCF/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients with Unstable Angina/Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (DO NOT EDIT) [1]
Identification of Patients at Risk (DO NOT EDIT) [1]
| Class I |
|
"1. 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)" |
