Description
Summary:This review summarizes modern views on high-risk patients as atherosclerosis-free individuals. The importance of high-risk approach is explained by the fact that this group encompasses the majority of cardiac patients, as well as the majority of cardiovascular events. Therefore, early diagnostics and adequate management of high-risk patients could substantially reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events.

Such components of pharmaceutical treatment as antihypertensive, lipidlowering, and anti-aggregant therapy are discussed in detail.
