* Primary goal: For patients CHD Risk equivalent: any of CAD, TIA, CVA, AAA, PVD/bruits, DM with
one additional categorical risk factor or for patients with very high 10-year risk for hard CV events ( 20%).

Target initial therapy with the medication dose required to achieve target LDL  2.5 (1.8) mmol/L.

For 10 yr CV risk for hard endpoints 10-20%, LDL target is 3.5 mmol/L.

For 10 yr CV risk for hard endpoints  10%, LDL target is 4.5 mmol/L.

Initiate lipid lowering early in high-risk patients (in conjunction with dietary modification).
For specific medications and dosing strategy see Lipid Optimization Tool






Initiate DASH diet, exercise, smoking cessation, alcohol reduction & lifestyle modification in all pts.
Initiate Rx immediately if hypertensive urgency
Dx HTN on second visit if : target organ damage, DM, chronic kidney disease (CKD) or BP > 180/110
Dx HTN on 3rd visit if BP 160-179/100-109
Validate hypertension with: 1) Office BP, ambulatory BP or home/self BP.
Initial Rx for systolic/diastolic HTN in absence of compelling indication: Low dose thiazide; -blocker if
age < 60 yr; ACE-I § in non-black pts; long-acting CCB and ARB. ISH: LDD/ DHP-CCB/ARB

Consider Rx ASA (once BP controlled) and statin in HTN patients for cardiovascular protection

CHF&HTN-Rx -blocker †; ACE-I (ARB if ACE-I intolerant)&aldosterone antagonist(Class III/IV HF)

CKD or Type 2 DM § with micro-albuminuria, proteinuria or nephropathy ACE-I/ARB are 1st line Rx

Dx DM: FBG  7.0 mmol/L or 2 hr PCG 11.1 mmol/L.(Normal: A1C ≤ 6; FG 4-6 mmol/L; 2 hr PCG
5-8 mmol/L.) IFG 6.1-6.9 mmol/L. IGT 2 hr PCG 7.8-11 mmol/L.

Target euglycemia ASAP. Initiate dietweight loss (5-10%), diabetes education & exercise program.
Target A1C ≤ 7; FG 4-7 mmol/L; 2 hr PCG 5-10 mmol/L. Rx oral hypoglycemic for FBG  7.0 mmol/L
& A1C 7-9.Consider initial combination Rx for A1C ≥9 mmol/L.

Aggressive BP control. Target 130/80 Rx ACE-inhibitor, ARB, cardio-selective -blocker, thiazide
diuretic, long acting CCB. BP target 125/75 for diabetic nephropathy eliminated.

Assess risk, preferably with exercise test, to guide prescription.

Encourage minimum of 30-40 minutes of moderate intensity activity 3 to 5 times weekly
(walking, jogging, cycling or other aerobic activity) supplemented by an increase in daily lifestyle
activities (e.g., walking breaks at work, using stairs, gardening, household work)

Max benefits 5 to 6 hours per week. Medically supervised programs for moderate to high-risk patients.
Start intensive diet and appropriate physical activity intervention, as outlined above, in patients 120% of ideal
weight for height. Particularly emphasise need for weight loss in patients with hypertension, elevated
triglycerides or elevated glucose levels. Ideal body weight BMI < 25.
Start aspirin 80-325 mg per day if not contraindicated. Consider clopidogrel 75mg OD post MI, post CABG,
CVA, PVD in ASA intolerant or allergic patients (CAPRIE Trial). Consider clopidogrel 75mg OD + ASA for
ACS:unstable angina/non-ST elevation MI & post-PCI patients (CURE Trial: duration of therapy 9-12months)
Consider warfarin for post MI patients not able to take aspirin (maintain INR 2-3).
Start early post-MI in stable high risk patients (anterior MI, previous MI, Killip class II (S3 gallop, rales,
radiographic CHF). Continue indefinitely for all with LV dysfunction (EF40%) or symptoms of CHF.
Use as needed to manage HPT or symptoms in all other patients.
Rx ACE inhibitors in all patients 55 yrs with evidence of vascular disease or DM and one other risk factor:
HOPE Trial-Ramipril 2.510 mg QHS or all CAD patients 18 yrs EUROPA Trial-Perindopril 48 mg OD
If LVF preserved, patient non diabetic and other risk factors optimized may not need ACE inhibitor (PEACE).
Start acutely or within a few days of event in all post-MI patients (unless contra-indication). Continue
indefinitely if residual ischemia, heart failure, LV dysfunction or severe co-morbidity. Continue indefinitely
in low risk patients (IIa). Rx as needed to manage angina, arrhythmia or HPT.
Rx Beta-blocker to ACE-inhibitor/diuretic/+/- digoxin in stable Class II-IV CHF/LVEF  40%
Bisoprolol 1.25  10 mg OD, carvedilol 3.125 mg BID  25 mg BID (50 mg BID if weight > 85 kg)
or metoprolol 12.5 mg  75-100 mg BID
Check in patients with premature CAD/CVD/PVD; family history premature atherosclerosis or manifest
atherosclerosis & no identifiable risk factors. Folic acid 2.5 mg, B6 25 mg, B12 250 mcg.
HRT not recommended for 10 prevention. Use established preventative strategies. Consider HRT or SERMS
for non-cardiac indications. Individualize recommendations consistent with other health risks (VTE,
endometrial or breast CA). HRT not indicated in 2 0 prevention. D/C HRT in ACS, MI, PTCA,CABG,CHF,Sx

THERAPEUTIC GOALS
Continuing Medical Implementation ®
Paroxysmal AF:
Persistent AF:
Initial or recurrent: Self terminating, lasts >30 seconds and <7
days. Usually < 24hrs- 7 days.
Not self-terminating but converts with either DC shock or
drugs. Usually lasts >7 days. May be recurrent.
Remains after DC shock and drug therapy.
Permanent
(Chronic) AF:
AF occurs in 0.4% of the general population (200,000-250,000) . Prevalence
increases with age: < 1% of population < age 60 years and > 6% > age 80 years.
Acute causes:
Aging, alcohol, MI (if LVF/RVF/RA MI), pericarditis,
thromboembolism, myocarditis, hyperthyroidism, cardiac and
thoracic surgery, electrocution. Most causes are transient.
Treat underlying condition and control rate.
Chronic causes:
Hypertension, CHD, cardiomyopathy (dilated, hypertrophic,
restrictive), sleep apnea, valvular heart disease
(mitral>aortic), degenerative (SSS), congenital heart disease.
Lone AF:
No identifiable etiology (r/o genetic/familial)
Non valvular AF: Rate of ischemic stroke is 5% per year. This is 2-7 times the
general population. If one considers silent strokes identified
on CT scanning or MRI the rate increases to 7% per year.
Valvular AF:
The rate of ischemic stroke is 25% per year. This rate is 17
times that of the general population.
Mortality:
Patients with AF have a mortality that is double that of aged
matched controls. Mortality is approximately 2% per year,
increases progressively with age and is related predominantly
to cardiovascular causes.
 Identify syndrome: PAROXYSMAL, PERSISTENT or PERMANENT.
 Determine the cause: History, physical
 Define associated cardiac conditions and extra-cardiac factors.
 ECG to confirm the rhythm, evidence of LVH, previous MI, pre-excitation,
bundle branch block and to measure and follow the QT intervals.
 CXR for heart size
 Echo for LVH, LV function, atrial size, cardiomyopathy, valvular disease
 TSH
 TMT test for rate control and to r/o coronary ischemia.
 Holter monitor to assess rate control
 Cardiac event monitor for symptomatic episodes.
 TEE may be required especially prior to DC shock to identify atrial thrombi.
 EPS for documented or suspected PSVT/ consider Aflutter ablation
