Dear Colleagues,

Cardiovascular medicine has experienced an unforeseen and im-


pressive development over the last 50 years, particularly recently,
as we developed new diagnostics and innovative medications, as
well as interventional and surgical procedures to treat patients with
cardiac disease. Thus, the number of cardiovascular diagnoses and
the number of diagnostic modalities, as well as the number of
treatment options has expanded enormously and made cardiovas-
cular medicine one of the biggest specialties in medicine at large.
Cardiac patients are among the most important patient groups,
both for general practitioners and for physicians working in hospital
centres, and therefore it is of utmost importance to have infor-
mation about the management of such patients readily at hand.
This cardiovascular manual focusing on diagnostic algorithms and
therapeutic recommendations according to European Guidelines,
provides such a tool. Indeed, it encompasses all aspects of car-
diovascular medicine from hypertension to transplantation, from
imaging to intervention, and from pharmacotherapy to surgical
procedures. With therefore hope to provide an important guide
based on the current levels of evidence for surgery and for clinical
rounds whilst managing patients with cardiovascular problems.
We sincerely hope that you enjoy using this manual.

Yours sincerely
Thomas F. Lüscher

2 Chapter 1 Global Cardiovascular Risk

Risk Assessment
The assessment of the probability that an individual will experience
major cardiovascular (CV) events (MACE) in the future is of utmost im-
portance as a basis for recommendations on lifestyle and, if necessary,
pharmacotherapy.
Currently risk assessment is based on the classical CV risk factors such as:
• Age (one of the strongest CV risk factors)
• Sex (with male sex in general being at higher risk)
• Smoking (see Chapter 7: Smoking Cessation; this volume)
• Dyslipidaemias (see Chapter 4: Lipid Disorders; this volume)
• Arterial hypertension (see Chapter 2: Arterial Hypertension; this
volume)
• Diabetes mellitus (see Chapter 6: Diabetes Mellitus; this volume).
The Global CV Risk attempts to integrate all these commonly used vari-
ables. Of primary clinical importance are those CV risk factors that are
amenable to change, either by improving life style (e.g. smoking cessation,
exercise, and weight loss to lower blood pressure, certain lipids, and glu-
cose levels) and/​or pharmacotherapy.
There are numerous other variables that predict future MACE (e.g. gen-
etics, inflammation, platelet reactivity, coagulation factors, lipids such as tri-
glycerides and lipoprotein(a), and periodontitis among others), but they are
not commonly integrated into currently used risk scores. However, in add-
ition to the risk obtained from a given risk score, they should be considered,
if available, when assessing an individual patient.

Commonly Used Risk Scores


A number of risk scores have been developed and are commonly used
in primary prevention (i.e. in individuals without evidence of CV disease):
• SCORE Risk Charts of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC)
([Link])
• ASCVD Risk Estimator Plus of the American College of Cardiology
(ACC) ([Link]
resources/​features/​2013-​prevention-​guidelines-​ascvd-​risk-​estimator)
• Heart Risk Calculator ACC/​American Heart Association (www.
[Link])
• Framingham risk score ([Link])
• Risk score of the International Society of Atherosclerosis.
Population-Dependence of CV Risk Scores 3

Population-​Dependence of CV Risk Scores


Risk scores have usually been developed based on a specific population.
However, the CV risk as a result of classical CV risk factors (see section ‘Risk
Assessment’) differs in different populations, i.e. higher risks in Northern
European countries compared to those from the south of Europe, as well as
higher risks in the United States compared to Europe. The SCORE Risk Chart
of the ESC is based on 12 European cohort studies with 250,000 patient-​
data sets averaging 3 million person-​years of observation and 7,000 fatal
CV events ([Link]). This has allowed derivation of a SCORE
Risk chart for high, medium, and low risk countries. Figure 1.1 shows a chart
for medium risk countries (see also [Link]
advance-​article-​abstract/​doi/​10.1093/​eurheartj/​ehz455/​5556353).

when a participant had a total cholesterol level of less than 180 mg per deciliter (4.7
mmol per liter) and untreated blood pressure of less than 120 mm Hg systolic and less
than 80 mm Hg diastolic, was a nonsmoker, and did not have diabetes. It was
considered not to be optimal for nonsmokers without diabetes who had a total
cholesterol level of 180 to 199 mg per deciliter or untreated systolic blood pressure of
120 to 139 mm Hg or untreated diastolic blood pressure of 80 to 89 mm Hg. Levels
of risk factors were viewed as elevated for nonsmokers without diabetes who had a
total cholesterol level of 200 to 239 mg per deciliter (5.17 to 6.18 mmol per liter) or
untreated systolic blood pressure of 140 to 159 mm Hg or untreated diastolic blood
pressure of 90 to 99 mm Hg. Major risk factors were defined as current smoking,
diabetes, treatment for hypercholesterolemia, an untreated total cholesterol level of
at least 240 mg per deciliter (6.21 mmol per liter), and treatment for hypertension,
untreated systolic blood pressure of at least 160 mm Hg, or untreated diastolic blood
pressure of at least 100 mm Hg. The data were derived from the 17 studies in the
pooled cohort; data from the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial were not included.

4 Chapter 1 Global Cardiovascular Risk

Short-​Term versus Lifetime Risk


Most risk scores in current use, provide estimates of the probability of fu-
ture MACE over a 5–​10-​year period. However, with the growing emphasis
on CVD prevention, attention is shifting to evaluation of life time risk, par-
ticularly in primary care (Figure 1.2). This is based on evidence that the
impact of risk factors not only depends on their magnitude but also on
duration of exposure. Early intervention can provide ‘leveraged gains’. The
Joint British Societies 3 (JBS3) guidelines provide a calculator for communi-
cating both short-​term and lifetime risk ([Link]
risk_​[Link]). This approach will increasingly be incorporated in new
guidelines to communicate both risk and opportunities for intervention
from behavioural change and, where appropriate, drug therapy.
