This guideline covers the main risk factors linked with cardiovascular disease: poor diet, physical inactivity, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. It aims to reduce the high incidence of cardiovascular disease. This, in turn, will help prevent other major causes of death and illness, such as type 2 diabetes and many cancers.

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.
Cardiovascular disease prevention: primary prevention with lipid lowering therapies (IND229)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with a cardiovascular disease risk assessment score of 10% or more who are currently treated with a lipid-lowering therapy. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM211
Cardiovascular disease prevention: primary prevention with lifestyle changes (IND228)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with a cardiovascular disease risk assessment score of 10% or more identified in the preceding 12 months who are offered advice and support for smoking cessation, safe alcohol consumption, healthy diet and exercise within 3 months of the score being recorded. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM210
Cardiovascular disease prevention: secondary prevention with lipid lowering therapies (IND230)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with cardiovascular disease who are currently treated with a lipid-lowering therapy. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM212
Cardiovascular disease prevention: risk assessment (general population) (IND269)
This indicator covers the percentage of people aged 45 to 84 years who have a recorded cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment score in the preceding 5 years. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes
Cardiovascular risk assessment and lipid modification (QS100)
This quality standard covers identifying and assessing cardiovascular risk in adults without cardiovascular disease, and treatment to prevent primary and secondary cardiovascular disease. It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.

Cardiovascular disease prevention: risk assessment (modifiable risk factors) (IND270)
This indicator covers the percentage of people aged 43 to 84 years with a modifiable risk factor who have a recorded cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment score in the preceding 3 years. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes
Cardiovascular disease prevention: cholesterol treatment target (secondary prevention) (IND278)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with cardiovascular disease in whom the last recorded LDL or non-HDL cholesterol level (measured in the preceding 12 months) is 2.0 mmol per litre or less for LDL cholesterol or 2.6 mmol per litre or less for non-HDL cholesterol. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes
This indicator covers the percentage of patients aged between 25 and 84 years with schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder and other psychoses (excluding those with pre-existing cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, familial hypercholesterolaemia or type 1 diabetes) who have had a full formal cardiovascular disease risk assessment performed in the preceding 12 months. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM120
This indicator covers under 75 mortality from cardiovascular disease. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes
This indicator covers those patients aged between 25 and 84 years, with a new diagnosis of hypertension or type 2 diabetes recorded in the preceding 12 months (excluding those with pre-existing cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, familial hypercholesterolaemia or type 1 diabetes), who have a recorded cardiovascular risk assessment score of 10% or more in the preceding 12 months: the percentage who are currently treated with a lipid lowering therapy. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes
This guideline covers preventing and managing foot problems in children, young people and adults with diabetes. It aims to reduce variation in practice, including antibiotic prescribing for diabetic foot infections.
This indicator covers the percentage of patients aged between 25 and 84 years with a new diagnosis of hypertension or type 2 diabetes, recorded in the preceding 12 months (excluding those with pre-existing cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, familial hypercholesterolaemia or type 1 diabetes) who have had a consultation for full formal cardiovascular disease risk assessment between 3 months before or 3 months after date of diagnosis. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM132
