Clinical ASCVD definition
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is abbreviated as ASCVD.
Includes a set of clinical cardiovascular problems caused by hard plaque on the walls of arteries (or atherosclerosis).
What does clinical ASCVD include?
Clinical ASCVD includes the following:
- Strokes
- transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or mini-strokes
- coronary artery diseases
Documented Stable angina
- Acute coronary syndromes (ACS)
- Coronary artery revascularization
- Revascularization of other arteries
- Peripheral artery diseases (with or without lameness (PAD))
- Aortic disorders
Keep in mind that ASCVDs are a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide.
What is the meaning of ASCVD score?
There is an international guideline by which individuals can take their 10-year risk of developing cardiovascular problems.
What are the risk factors of ASCVD?
Who is most likely to develop clinical ASCVD?
- People with hyperlipidemia (dyslipidemia)
- People with diabetes
- fat people
- People with a family history of ASCVD
- Physically immobile people
Authentic guidelines can estimate the risk of any asymptomatic adult between the ages of forty and seventy-nine to clinical ASCVDs in the next ten years by recording and reviewing the above values and factors.
If provided by these guidelines:
<5% —————— »low risk
5to<7/5% be ———————————— »borderline risk
More equal to seven percent and less than twenty percent__ »» intermediate risk(???)
And if the guideline score is 20 percent or more, a person is considered to be at risk for developing ASCVD in the next ten years.
