Predicting Risk of cardiovascular disease EVENTs (PREVENT*)
* TradeMark
Indications
- AHA Predicting Risk of CVD EVENTs (PREVENT) equations among US adults 30-79 years of age without known CVD includes traditional risk factors: smoking status, systolic blood pressure, cholesterol, antihypertensive use, statin use, diabetes mellitus & eGFR[2]
Interpretation
- low risk: < 3%
- borderline risk: 3% to < 5%
- intermediate risk: 5% to < 10%
- high risk: > 10%
* A 10-year risk of 5% by the PREVENT calculartpr is thus considered equivalent to 7.5% by th pooled cohort equations used in prior guidelines as the risk threshold for primary prevention with statin
Management
- lipid-lowering therapy can be considered for borderline risk & should be considered for intermediate risk
