- About this quality standard
This guideline covers managing stable angina in people aged 18 and over. It outlines the importance of addressing the person’s concerns about stable angina and the roles of medical therapy and revascularisation.
This guideline covers the early and longer-term (rehabilitation) management of acute coronary syndromes. These include ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina. The guideline aims to improve survival and quality of life for people who have a heart attack or unstable angina.
Evidence-based recommendations on rivaroxaban (Xarelto) for preventing atherothrombotic events in adults with coronary or peripheral artery disease.
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.
Evidence-based recommendations on semaglutide (Wegovy) for reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in people with established cardiovascular disease and overweight or obesity in adults.

This indicator covers the percentage of patients with type 1 diabetes aged over 40 years (excluding people with a history of haemorrhagic stroke) 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
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
Myocardial infarction: medication for MI in preceding 12 months (IND125)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients who had a myocardial infarction in the preceding 1 April to 31 March and who are currently being treated with an ACE-I (or ARB if ACE-I intolerant), dual antiplatelet therapy, 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 NM79
