Abstract

The article focuses on the latest NICE guideline aimed at increasing the number of patients offered statins to reduce cardiovascular risk, discussing detection methods, initiating statin therapy, and optimizing treatment for both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It emphasizes the importance of systematic risk assessment using tools like QRISK3, baseline tests before initiating statin therapy, and considerations for treatment escalation.

Abstract

The article discusses an approach by the Joint British Societies for reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals by promoting a better understanding of risk, improving uptake of lifestyle improvements and improving uptake of preventive therapies. Topics discussed include the introduction of the concept of "lifetime risk" as the key change in the approach in assessing CVD risk and the development of a risk calculator using "QRISK Lifetime" as basis for risk assessment.

Author

Sains, Katherine

Subjects
*CARDIOVASCULAR disease prevention, *ENZYME inhibitors, *ANTILIPEMIC agents, *CLOFIBRIC acid, *EZETIMIBE, *CARDIOVASCULAR diseases risk factors, *DECISION making, *HIGH density lipoproteins, *HYPERLIPIDEMIA, *LOW density lipoproteins, *TYPE 2 diabetes, *PATIENTS, *TRIGLYCERIDES, *WORLD Wide Web, *INFORMATION resources, *RELATIVE medical risk, *ACUTE coronary syndrome, *PREVENTION, *THERAPEUTICS
Abstract

The article discusses why and for whom lipid-lowering drugs should be prescribed. It explores clinical guidelines published by the British National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in 2008 that address the prescribing of lipid-lowering agents. The guidance states that statins remain the first-line therapy in most cases in patients who are at high risk of a cardiovascular event, unless they are not tolerated. Lipid-lowering drugs for secondary prevention include ezetimibe, fibrates, nicotinic acid and bile acid sequestrants.
