16. Preventive factors of Cardiovascular Diseases
PRIMARY PREVENTION:

18. Preventive factors of Cardiovascular Diseases
SECONDARY PREVENTION:
▪ Treatment with the following Medications are
necessary:
▪ Aspirin
▪ Beta-Blockers
▪ Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors
▪ Statins
The benefits of these Interventions are largely effective when used
together with Smoking Cessation and have lead to Prevention of 75% of
Recurrent vascular events.3/29/2020 DR ATHAR KHAN - LCMD 18
19. Preventive factors of Cardiovascular Diseases
SECONDARY PREVENTION:
▪ Angioplasty
▪ Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
The benefits of these Interventions are largely effective when used
together with Smoking Cessation and have lead to Prevention of 75% of
Recurrent vascular events.3/29/2020 DR ATHAR KHAN - LCMD 19
