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: identifying and supporting people most at risk of dying early (PH15)
This guideline covers the risk of early death from heart disease and other smoking-related illnesses. It aims to reduce the number of people who are disadvantaged dying prematurely by ensuring people have better access to flexible, well-coordinated treatment and support.
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 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
In development Reference number: GID-TA11544 Expected publication date: 14 May 2026
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: 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: 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 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 (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

- About this quality standard
This guideline covers care and management for adults (aged 18 and over) with type 2 diabetes. It focuses on patient education, dietary advice, managing cardiovascular risk, managing blood glucose levels, and identifying and managing long-term complications.
This guideline covers identifying and treating primary hypertension (high blood pressure) in people aged 18 and over, including people with type 2 diabetes. It aims to reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks and strokes by helping healthcare professionals to diagnose hypertension accurately and treat it effectively.
