A [[meta-analysis]] of [[randomized controlled trials]] by the international [[Cochrane Collaboration]] found "that the use of clopidogrel plus aspirin is associated with a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular events compared with aspirin alone in patients with acute non-ST coronary syndrome. In patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease but not presenting acutely, there is only weak evidence of benefit and hazards of treatment almost match any benefit obtained.".<ref name="pmid17636787">{{cite journal |author=Keller T, Squizzato A, Middeldorp S |title=Clopidogrel plus aspirin versus aspirin alone for preventing cardiovascular disease |journal=Cochrane database of systematic reviews (Online) |volume= |issue=3 |pages=CD005158 |year=2007 |pmid=17636787 |doi=10.1002/14651858.CD005158.pub2}}</ref>

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

Overview

Patients who should be treated with secondary prevention are those with established atherosclerosis including peripheral artery disease; carotid artery disease; atherosclerotic aortic disease; diabetes and those with a Framingham Risk Score of > 20%. There are 12 aspects of secondary prevention: Smoking cessation; blood pressure control; lipid-lowering; increasing physical activity; weight loss; diabetes control; antiplatelet agents/anticoagulants; RAS blockers; beta-blockers; depression management; cardiac rehabilitation and influenza vaccine. Please note that secondary prevention guidelines, especially, those involving medication, may differ between UA/NSTEMI; STEMI; and Chronic Stable Angina. Please refer to appropriate page for more specific guidelines.
