Risk below %5 is considered low risk. Treatment and therapy has [blank_start]limited[blank_end] benefit. Risk is reassessed every 5-10 years.
Risk between 5-15% is considered moderate risk. Discussing the benefits of starting an anti-[blank_start]hypertensive[blank_end] medicine and [blank_start]statin[blank_end] with the patient. It will have a greater benefit the higher their [blank_start]risk[blank_end]. Risk is reassessed every 2-5 years.
Risk over 15% is considered high risk. There is strong evidence to [blank_start]support[blank_end] using anti-hypertensives and statins to reduce CVD events and deaths. Risk is reassessed [blank_start]annually[blank_end].
