Primary Prevention
‘ABCs’ of primary and secondary CVD prevention have expanded over the years
The “ABCs” have provided a roadmap for primary and secondary CVD prevention since 1999, according to a speaker at the virtual American Society for Preventive Cardiology Congress on CVD Prevention.
BP control key component of CVD prevention
BP control is an important part of CVD prevention, but better evidence is needed, as is more tailored outreach to at-risk populations, a speaker said at the American Society for Preventive Cardiology Congress on CVD Prevention.

Yancy to receive award, present Honorary Fellowship Lecture at ASPC summit
Clyde Yancy, MD, MSc, FASPC, is being honored as the 2021 recipient of the Honorary Fellow of the ASPC Award at the American Society for Preventive Cardiology Virtual Summit on CVD Prevention, to be held July 23 to 25.
Q&A: Atogepant decreases monthly migraine days in phase 3 trial
Atogepant demonstrated “clinically meaningful and statistically significant” improvement for the primary endpoint of decreasing the mean number of monthly migraine days compared with placebo, according to results of a phase 3 trial.
Prediabetes confers elevated risk for major adverse CV events
Adults with prediabetes were more likely to have an MI and other CV events compared with those who had normal blood glucose levels, according to a presentation at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Session.
Higher CV health scores tied to lower risk for major CVD events
If all U.S. adults attained high CV health status, 2 million adult CVD events could be prevented annually, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
Top in cardiology: Systolic BP and CV risk, benefits of fish intake
Increased time within systolic BP target range predicted the risk for major cardiovascular events among adults with hypertension, according to researchers. This was the top story in cardiology last week.
Time in systolic BP target range predicts major CV event risk
Among adults with hypertension and high CV risk, greater time with systolic BP within target range predicted reduced risk for major CV events independent of traditional CV risk factors, researchers reported.
Fish intake benefits patients with prior CVD, not general population
Minimal fish intake was associated with lower risk for major CVD and mortality among patients with prior CVD, but not those without CVD, according to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
