  1. The Evidence for Current Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Guidelines: Other Cardiovascular Therapies and Areas with Room for Improvement American College of Cardiology Best Practice Quality Initiative Subcommittee and Prevention Committee

  2. Classification of Recommendations and Levels of Evidence *Data available from clinical trials or registries about the usefulness/efficacy in different subpopulations, such as gender, age, history of diabetes, history of prior myocardial infarction, history of heart failure, and prior aspirin use. A recommendation with Level of Evidence B or C does not imply that the recommendation is weak. Many important clinical questions addressed in the guidelines do not lend themselves to clinical trials. Even though randomized trials are not available, there may be a very clear clinical consensus that a particular test or therapy is useful or effective. †In 2003, the ACC/AHA Task Force on Practice Guidelines developed a list of suggested phrases to use when writing recommendations. All guideline recommendations have been written in full sentences that express a complete thought, such that a recommendation, even if separated and presented apart from the rest of the document (including headings above sets of recommendations), would still convey the full intent of the recommendation. It is hoped that this will increase readers’ comprehension of the guidelines and will allow queries at the individual recommendation level.

  6. ADA Immunization Recommendations for Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Primary Prevention • An influenza vaccine should be provided to all diabetic patients >6 months of age annually. • A pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine should be administered to all diabetic patients >2 years of age. A one-time revaccination is recommended for individuals >64 years of age that were previously immunized at <65 years of age, if the vaccine was administered >5 years ago. Other indications for repeat vaccination include nephrotic syndrome, chronic renal disease, and other immunocompromised states, such as after transplantation.
