Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]
Overview
Patients who should be treated with secondary prevention are those with established atherosclerosis including peripheral artery disease; carotid artery disease; atherosclerotic aortic disease; diabetes and those with a Framingham Risk Score of > 20%.

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)” |
