Current Guideline Risk Stratification and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Chinese Patients Suffered From Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Heterogeneity exists among patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) with regard to the risk of recurrent events. Current guidelines have definitely refined the disease and we aimed to examine the practicability in Chinese population.

Methods

A cohort of 9944 patients with ASCVD was recruited. Recurrent events occurred during an average of 38.5 months' follow-up were collected. The respective and combinative roles of major ASCVD (mASCVD) events and high-risk conditions, being defined by 2018 AHA/ACC guideline, in coronary severity and outcome were studied.

Results

The number of high-risk conditions was increased with increasing number of mASCVD events (1.95 ± 1.08 vs. 2.16 ± 1.10 vs. 2.42 ± 1.22). Trends toward the higher to the
