6 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
NCEP ATP III

CHD risk-equivalents
1. Clinical CHD - see next card
2. other forms of atherosclerotic dz
* Carotid artery disease
- Hx of TIA and/or stroke
- Carotid stenosis > 50%
* Peripheral artery disease
- claudication
- ABI >0.9 (ankle:brachial index)
* Abdominal aortic aneurysm
3. Diabetes
4. multiple major RFs w/10y-risk < 20%
that when combined (via Fram score)
lead to a 10y - risk for CHD > 20%
NCEP ATP III

Clinical CHD
Myocardial Ischemia (angina)

MI

Coronary angioplasty &/or stent placed

Coronary bypass graft (CABG)

Prior Unstable Angina
NCEP ATP III

Selection of LDL-lowering TX

Risk determinants
1. LDL

2. presence or absence of CHD

3. other clinical forms of atherosclerosis

4. major risk factors other than LDL
NCEP ATP III

Major RFs w/10y-risk < 20% other than LDL (that are used to modify LDL goals)
Cigarette smoking

HTN
- BP≥140/90 or on antiHTN drug

Low HDL (<40)

Family hx premature CHD
- First-degree relative
- Male <55yrs old or female <65yrs

Age
- males ≥45yo; females ≥55yo
NCEP ATP III

Categories of Risk that modify LDL goals
CHD and CHD risk equivalents
- goal is < 100

Multiple (2+) major RFs w/10y-risk<20%
- Need to calculate Framingham score
* goal is < 130 when 10y-risk < 20%
* goal is < 100 when 10y-risk > 20%
(becomes a CHD - equivalent)

0-1 RFs w/10y-risk < 20%
* goal is < 160
Risk factors used in Framingham scoring
age
total cholesterol
HDL
BP
Cigarette smoking
