Abstract
American College of Preventive Medicine (ACPM) recommends CHD risk assessment using the FRS to guide risk-based therapy. ACPM does not recommend routine screening of the general adult population using electrocardiogram, exercise-stress testing, computed tomography scanning, ankle-brachial index, carotid intima medial thickness, or emerging risk factors, including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). ACPM does not recommend routine screening of the general adult population for CAS or PAD. ACPM recommends one-time AAA screening in men aged 65-75 years who have ever smoked. Routine AAA screening in women is not recommended.
