2
Objectives © 2011 - TIGC Interpret the Canadian Cardiovascular Society Guideline recommendations regarding the use of antiplatelet therapy for primary prevention of vascular events. Distinguish the clinical impact of absolute versus relative risk reduction in primary prevention. Distinguish the effect of risk factors on the clinical impact of antiplatelet therapy for primary prevention. Evaluate the evidence supporting the recommendations regarding the use of antiplatelet therapy in primary prevention.

Alex © 2011 - TIGC Alex is accompanying his wife who is seeing you in follow up for her coronary disease. Alex wants to know if he should be taking ASA to prevent a heart attack. Alex is 65 and has never had any manifestation of vascular disease.

24 ® Antiplatelet Therapy for the Primary Prevention of Vascular Events 1.For men and women without evidence of manifest vascular disease, the use of ASA at any dose is not recommend for routine use to prevent ischemic vascular events (Class III, Level A). 2.For men and women without evidence of manifest vascular disease, the use of clopidogrel 75 mg daily plus ASA at any dose is not recommended to prevent ischemic vascular events (Class III, Level B). 3.In special circumstances in men and women without evidence of manifest vascular disease in whom vascular risk is considered high and bleeding risk low, ASA 75-162 mg daily may be considered (Class IIb, Level C).
