This indicator covers the percentage of patients with hypertension aged 16 to 74 years in whom there is an annual assessment of physical activity, using GPPAQ, in the preceding 15 months. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM36
Evidence-based recommendations on dual-chamber pacemakers for treating symptomatic bradycardia caused by sick sinus syndrome without atrioventricular block.
Hypertension: brief intervention to increase physical activity (IND96)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with hypertension aged 16 or over and who have not attained the age of 75 who score ‘less than active’ on GPPAQ in the preceding 15 months, who also have a record of a brief intervention in the preceding 15 months. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM37

Cardiovascular disease: risk assessment and reduction, including lipid modification (NG238)
This guideline covers identifying and assessing risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in adults without established CVD. It covers lifestyle changes and lipid-lowering treatment (including statins) for primary and secondary prevention of CVD, and includes guidance for people who also have diabetes or chronic kidney disease.

This indicator covers the proportion of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who had balloon inflation for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in less than 60 minutes from time of admission at a centre with primary PCI facilities. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as CCG92
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with a new diagnosis of hypertension in the preceding 1 April to 31 March who have a record of a 12-lead ECG performed in the 3 months before or after the date of entry to the hypertension register. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM77

Myocardial infarction: medication for MI more than 12 months ago (IND126)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with a history of myocardial infarction (more than 12 months ago) who are currently being treated with an ACE-I (or ARB if ACE-I intolerant), aspirin (or clopidogrel, or anticoagulant drug therapy) and a statin, and a beta-blocker for those patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM80
Sutureless aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis (HTG483)
