Abstract
Secondary prevention of cardiovascular events
Secondary prevention after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) comprises: intensive control of risk factors for atherosclerosis, lifestyle modification (including in particular regular physical exercise), pharmacotherapy (inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, administration of beta-blockers, antiplatelet and hypolipidemic therapy), prevention of sudden cardiac death and cardiac resynchronization therapy. This paper provides a review of some types of drugs used for the prevention of cardiovascular events. Double antiplatelet therapy is discussed: indications, possible combinations and duration according to the risk of ischemic events and serious hemorrhagic complications. The management of ventricular rhythm disturbances is also presented (e.g. related drugs, ablation, ICD-based treatment).
