In >50% of victims,
the first symptom of
asymptomatic
atherosclerosis is a
sudden cardiac
death or acute MI.

received statin therapy or more intensive statin therapy?

CONCLUSION:
Relying on risk factors of
atherosclerosis (i.e.
cholesterol & blood
pressure) mislead
physicians and patients.
A direct assessment of
atherosclerosis is needed.

SHAPE v.s. Status Quo
Existing Guidelines (Status Quo):
• Screen for Risk Factors of Atherosclerosis
• Treat Risk Factors of Atherosclerosis
The SHAPE Guidelines:
• Screen for Atherosclerosis (the Disease)
Regardless of Risk Factors
• Treat based on the Severity of the Disease

atherosclerosis.
3: Must not have any of the following: Chol>200 mg/dl, blood pressure >120/80 mmHg, diabetes,
smoking, family history, metabolic syndrome.
4: Pending the development of standard practice guidelines.
5: High cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, family history, metabolic syndrome.
