To Which Patients dothe Guidelines apply? • Coronary artery disease • Carotid disease • Peripheral vascular disease • Abdominal aortic aneurysm • Diabetics
AHA Secondary Prevention Guidelines2001 Antiplatelet / anticoagulant therapy • Intervention recommendations: • Start and continue indefinitely aspirin 75–325 mg/d if not contraindicated. • Consider clopidogrel 75 mg/d or warfarin if aspirin contraindicated. • Manage warfarin to INR=2.0 to 3.0 in post-MI patients when clinically indicated or for those unable to take aspirin or clopidogrel.
AHA Secondary Prevention Guidelines2001 Beta blockers • Start in all patients post MI and post ACS • Continue indefinitely • Observe usual contraindications. • Use as needed to manage CHF, angina, rhythm, or blood pressure in all other patients.
AHA Secondary Prevention Guidelines2001 ACE inhibitors • Treat all patients indefinitely post MI • Consider use in all patients with coronary or other vascular disease • Early use in anterior MI, previous MI, Killip Class II (S3 gallop, rales, radiographic CHF)
Benefits in HOPE • 9,541 subjects randomized to ramipril 10 mg/day or placebo and vitamin E 400 Units/day or placebo for 5 years • Terminated early at 4.5 years • All patient subgroups had benefit with ACEI. • Primary endpoint (MI, stroke, or death from cardiovascular causes) was significantly reduced by 22% with ramipril. • Risk reduction with ramipril was evident at 1 year and statistically significant at 2 years. • Vitamin E arm showed no benefit. HOPE Study Investigators. N Engl J Med 2000;342:145–160.
AHA Secondary Prevention Guidelines2001 Lipid management • LDL-cholesterol goal < 100 mg/dl • Statins as first line therapy for LDL lowering • If LDL low but HDL < 40 mg/dl, consider fibrate or niacin as first line therapy (especially in diabetes) • If TG’s are high, do not use a resin • TG 200-499, use fibrate/niacin after statins • TG >500, use fibrate/niacin before statins • Omega-3 FA’s for high TG’s

AHA Secondary Prevention Guidelines2001 Diabetes • Measure Hgb A1c • Appropriate hypoglycemic therapy to achieve near-normal plasma glucose as determined by Hgb A1c < 7.0 • Treatment of other risks (weight, activity, BP, lipids)

Diabetes Care 1998;21:1138-1145.
ADA Standards of Medical Care for Patients with Diabetes • Glycemic control: HbA1C<7% • Blood pressure control: <130/80 mm Hg • Target lipid levels: • LDL-C <100 mg/dL • HDL-C >45 mg/dL in men, >55 mg/dL in women • TG <150 mg/dL • Smoking cessation ADA. Diabetes Care 2002;25:S33–S49.
But…tight glycemic control has little effect on survival You get more SURVIVAL benefit in diabetics if you start: A Statin An ACE inhibitor ADA. Diabetes Care 2002;25:S33–S49.
AHA Secondary Prevention Guidelines2001 Smoking • Goal is complete cessation • Avoid second hand smoke • Provide: • counseling • tobacco cessation programs • pharmacologic therapy including nicotine replacement and buproprion
Survival Effects of Cigarette Smoking Overall Survival All levels of smoking Doll et al. BMJ 1994;309:901-911
AHA Secondary Prevention Guidelines2001 Physical activity • GOAL • Minimum: 30 minutes 3–4 days/week • Optimal: daily • Intervention recommendations: • Assess risk, preferably with exercise test, to guide prescription. • Encourage minimum of 30–60 minutes of activity (walking, jogging, cycling, or other aerobic activity), preferably daily or at least 3–4 times weekly. • Supplement with increased daily lifestyle activities (walking breaks at work, gardening, household work). • Advise medically supervised programs for moderate- to high-risk patients.
Exercise • 6,213 men • ETT for clinical reasons • 2,534 normal • 3,679 with CAD • Mean f/u 6.2 years • Age 59 + 11 • Peak capacity stronger predictor than cigs, HTN, DM, Chol Myers, NEJM 2002;346:793
AHA Secondary Prevention GuidelinesWeight Management • Goal: BMI 18.5–24.9 kg/m2 • Intervention recommendations: • Calculate BMI and measure waist circumference as part of evaluation. • Start weight management and physical activity as appropriate. • Monitor response of BMI and waist circumference to therapy. • If BMI 25 kg/m2, goal for waist circumference is 40 inches in men, 35 inches in women.

AHA Secondary Prevention Guidelines2001 Blood pressure • General goal: BP < 140/90 • Diabetes: BP < 130/80 (ADA) • Renal failure/heart failure: BP < 130/85 (JNC6) • Lifestyle modification • Dietary management • restrict salt intake • fresh fruits and vegetables

When to START The Guidelines? • ASAP – When first diagnosed! • Prior to hospital discharge (GWTG) • In the ICU • In the cath lab • On the ward • In the office
