The first Australian Guidelines for the management of absolute cardiovascular disease risk,
developed by the National Vascular Disease Prevention Alliance (NVDPA) are now
available.
The guidelines make recommendations for assessing and managing absolute
CVD risk in adults aged over 45 years (35 years for Aboriginal or Torres Strait
Islander adults) who are without known CVD. Special sections providing advice
on preventing CVD for those with diabetes and chronic kidney disease are
included where relevant.You can also access the Stroke Foundation's Management Guideline Quick Reference Guide for health professionals and an online risk calculator.
