Primary prevention of CVD
primary-prevention-cvd · society: ACC/AHA
Summary
Comprehensive ACC/AHA guideline consolidating primary prevention of ASCVD, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation in adults. Emphasizes healthy lifestyle as foundation, 10-year ASCVD risk estimation via Pooled Cohort Equations to guide pharmacotherapy decisions, and shared decision-making augmented by risk-enhancing factors and coronary artery calcium scoring. New recommendations downgrade routine aspirin for primary prevention, endorse SGLT-2 inhibitors/GLP-1 agonists for T2DM with high ASCVD risk, and address team-based care and social determinants of health.
