  Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common form of heart disease. It is the result of atheromatous changes in the vessels supplying the heart. CAD is used to describe a range of clinical disorders from asymptomatic atherosclerosis and stable angina to acute coronary syndrome (unstable angina, NSTEMI, STEMI). In the US, it is still one of the leading causes of mortality. Initial evaluation of risk factors is the first step in the prevention of coronary artery diseases.[1] […] […] Early recognition of risk factors and primary prevention have significantly decreased the morbidity and mortality associated with CAD. The risk assessment and preventive therapy is a combined discussion and decision that should take place between the patient and their physician. ACC/AHA 2019 recommends risk stratification by calculating 10-year-ASCVD risk, using the Pooled Cohort Equation (PCE). In adults aged between 40 and 75 years without any significant CAD history, a 10-year risk should be part of every visit. For adults between 20 and 39 years, it is reasonable to assess 10-year ASCVD risk at least every four to six years. Based on ASCVD scores, the 10-year risk can classify as low risk (lower than 5%), borderline risk (5 to 7.5%), intermediate-risk (7.5 to 20%) and or high risk (greater than 20%). Lifestyle modification with diet, exercise, and smoking cessation is crucial to reduce cardiovascular risk factors. Further control of hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia is essential to reduce the risk of CAD. […]

• #2 CVD Prevention | What We Do | World Heart Federation

  https://world-heart-federation.org/what-we-do/prevention/

  Despite being largely preventable, cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes more than 20.5 million deaths every year. An estimated 80% of cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke, is preventable. The main elements of CVD prevention are healthy diet, physical activity, avoiding tobacco, and knowing your numbers. High blood pressure is the leading risk factor for CVD globally. The most important behavioural risk factors of heart disease and stroke are unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use and harmful use of alcohol. Addressing just one risk factor, such as exercising more, will help, but in order to significantly reduce your risk of CVD, it’s important to look at your lifestyle as a whole. According to the World Health Organization, as many as 80% of all heart attacks and strokes are preventable. The majority of deaths due to CVD are precipitated by risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, or diabetes, which can, to a large extent, be prevented or controlled through the consumption of a healthy diet, regular exercise and avoiding tobacco. Eating a healthy, balanced diet is crucial to maintaining a healthy heart and circulation system. It only takes 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, five days a week, to improve and maintain your health. Lowering your risk of overweight and obesity normally involves reducing the number of calories consumed from fats and sugars, increasing the portion of daily intake of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and nuts, and exercising regularly. If you stop smoking, your risk of coronary heart disease will be halved within a year and will return to a normal level over time. There is no safe level for drinking alcohol, and the detrimental effects of alcohol far outweigh any potential protective benefits. Knowing your numbers is an important part of keeping your heart healthy. If you have a higher risk of developing heart disease or stroke, you may need to take medication to reduce your risk. Primary prevention mainly targets people who are at high risk of CVD but who have not yet developed a cardiovascular condition. Secondary prevention targets people with established cardiovascular disease. Tertiary prevention targets people who are already affected by cardiovascular disease and who are already experiencing its long-term effects, and aim to increase life expectancy and improve quality of life. The aim of primordial prevention is to prevent CVD at a very early stage. Most instances of CVD can be prevented by addressing risk factors before they create health problems, such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet and obesity, physical inactivity, harmful use of alcohol and air pollution.

  Most heart disease and stroke deaths are preventable. However, cardiovascular disease remains the No. 1 killer and the most expensive disease, costing nearly $1 billion a day. While cardiovascular disease is largely preventable, it tops the disease burden list and this situation is expected to worsen according to recent projections showing that by 2035, 45% of the U.S. adult population will live with cardiovascular disease at an annual cost of more than $1 trillion. Yet effective Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC) evidence-based programs are not fully implemented due to limited congressional resources. Congress can help stem the effect of cardiovascular disease and make the U.S. a healthier place to live by ensuring that each state has sufficient resources to implement tailored programs to help prevent and control this costly, disabling and deadly disease.

• #4 Coronary Artery Disease Prevention: As Easy As 1, 2, 3? | AAFP

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2010/1115/p1167.html

  Prevention can and should be divided into three stages: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary prevention represents the earliest possible interventions to foil disease before it begins. For CAD, this includes measures that prevent atherosclerotic plaques from ever developing. Secondary prevention includes early detection and halting the progression of established but asymptomatic disease. For CAD, this includes taking measures to prevent cardiovascular symptoms (e.g., dyspnea), damage (e.g., ventricular dysfunction), and events (e.g., acute coronary syndromes). However, once such symptoms, damage, or events occur, it is too late for secondary prevention. At this point, the only option is to try to rein in further disease progression with tertiary prevention. Tertiary prevention involves slowing, arresting, or reversing disease to prevent recurrent symptoms, further deterioration, and subsequent events. It is this type of prevention that the authors discuss primarily in their article.

  Coronary artery disease is the biggest cause of premature death in the world. Fortunately, there are many ways to prevent, diagnose and treat it. […] Prevention of coronary artery disease is a major goal of healthcare. At OneWelbeck Heart Health, we usually think of this in terms of preventing CAD and its consequences from happening in the first place (primary prevention), or by preventing CAD from progressing if it has already happened (secondary prevention). […] The goal of primary prevention is to identify people who are otherwise well, but may be at risk of CAD, and to then help reduce their risk. […] If someone’s CAD risk is found to be high, treatment usually involves modifying any medical conditions and supporting lifestyle and behavioural changes. […] Where someone has already had a heart attack, stenting, bypass surgery, or a stroke, then the goal is usually to reduce the risk of this happening again and to avoid complications. This is known as secondary prevention. […] The focus of secondary prevention is on preventing coronary artery disease from progressing or leading to further heart attacks. […] Early detection, management of risk factors, and lifestyle modifications are crucial in preventing or managing coronary disease.

  https://mdsearchlight.com/heart-health/coronary-artery-disease-prevention/

  Coronary artery disease (CAD), a form of heart disease, is the most common among people worldwide. The first step in preventing CAD is to identify the risk factors early on. […] To reduce the number of CAD-related deaths, developed countries are using primary and secondary prevention techniques. Primary prevention methods are applied to people who are at high risk of developing CAD but have no previous history of the disease. Secondary prevention methods, however, are used to prevent further heart damage in people who have already been diagnosed with CAD. […] Prevention is an essential aspect of managing coronary artery disease. Recognizing risk factors early can reduce the severity and rate of death associated with this disease. Patients and physicians should have an ongoing conversation about risk assessment and preventive treatment.

  Coronary artery disease is a type of heart disease caused by atherosclerosis, a buildup of a waxy substance called plaque composed of cholesterol, fat, and calcium in the arteries. Risk factors include unhealthy cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, obesity, a high-fat diet, and a sedentary lifestyle. […] Our cardiac specialists, part of NYU Langone Heart, recommend making the following lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of coronary artery disease and a heart attack. […] If your blood pressure is high, its important to lower it. High blood pressure can create microscopic tears in artery walls, which can lead to scarring. […] You may be able to lower blood pressure by losing weight if you need to; exercising regularly; limiting alcohol intake; quitting smoking; and cutting back on salt.

  Recent clinical studies show that persons with CAD can reduce their risk of subsequent cardiovascular events through effective secondary prevention, which reduces mortality and improves quality of life. Family physicians play an important role in initiating and maintaining risk factor modification using evidence-based standards. […] Regular physical activity is an important component of secondary prevention of CAD; it increases exercise capacity, treats comorbid risk factors, and improves quality of life. Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation has been shown to reduce all-cause and cardiac mortality compared with usual care. The goal for all patients is 30 to 60 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity (e.g., brisk walking, biking) on most, if not all, days of the week. […] Tobacco cessation has been shown to reduce all-cause mortality in patients with established CAD. In a recent Cochrane review, investigators concluded that persons who quit smoking after a myocardial infarction (MI) or cardiac surgery reduce their risk of death by at least one third, and that discontinuing smoking is at least as beneficial as modifying other risk factors.

  Recent clinical studies show that persons with CAD can reduce their risk of subsequent cardiovascular events through effective secondary prevention, which reduces mortality and improves quality of life. Family physicians play an important role in initiating and maintaining risk factor modification using evidence-based standards. […] Regular physical activity is an important component of secondary prevention of CAD; it increases exercise capacity, treats comorbid risk factors, and improves quality of life. Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation has been shown to reduce all-cause and cardiac mortality compared with usual care. The goal for all patients is 30 to 60 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity (e.g., brisk walking, biking) on most, if not all, days of the week. […] Tobacco cessation has been shown to reduce all-cause mortality in patients with established CAD. In a recent Cochrane review, investigators concluded that persons who quit smoking after a myocardial infarction (MI) or cardiac surgery reduce their risk of death by at least one third, and that discontinuing smoking is at least as beneficial as modifying other risk factors.

  Quitting smoking after a cardiovascular event is important to reduce new events and mortality. It is perhaps the most effective prevention measure reducing both the occurrence of myocardial infarction and death. […] Secondary causes for dyslipidemias should always be addressed and if present, treated, although in patients with established CvAD administration of lipid-lowering drugs is recommended despite presence or not of secondary causes. […] Regular physical activity is important in secondary prevention. […] Cardiac rehabilitation is encouraged for all patients with established CvAD. […] Stopping smoking reduces the CvAD risk in all persons. Assistance drug therapy and follow-up support should be used to encourage patients to stop smoking if difficulties are observed. […] The levels of LDL should be lowered by the use of statins, ezetimibe, and/or PCSK9 inhibitors in all patients with CvAD aiming to achieve the goal of values less than 55 mg/dL (1.4 mmol/L), or if not achieved, by a reduction of more than 50% compared to baseline.

  Secondary prevention of CAD in patients with diabetes also includes treatment of comorbid hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hypercoagulability. Treatment of diabetes with statins reduces vascular morbidity and mortality regardless of cholesterol values, and a multifactorial approach to diabetic care that includes glucose control; blood pressure management with renin-angiotensin system blockers; aspirin therapy; and lipid management with statins has been shown to reduce vascular complications and cardiovascular mortality. […] Antiplatelet agents are recommended in all patients for the secondary prevention of CAD.
