This guideline covers how to encourage employees to be physically active. The aim is to increase the working population’s physical activity levels.
Bioresorbable stent implantation for treating coronary artery disease (IPG492)
This guidance has been updated and replaced by NICE interventional procedures guidance 732.
Absorb Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold system for coronary artery disease (MIB84)
NICE withdrew this medtech innovation briefing in November 2017 after the company stopped manufacturing Absorb because of low uptake. Some UK hospitals continue to use the technology in ongoing clinical studies.
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.
Percutaneous endoscopic laser balloon pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation (IPG563)
Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous endoscopic laser balloon pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation in adults. This involves destroying the tissue causing atrial fibrillation using laser energy.
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.
Evidence-based recommendations on using thrombolytic drugs (alteplase [Actilyse], reteplase [Rapilysin], streptokinase [Streptase] and tenecteplase [Metalyse]) for treating acute myocardial infarction in adults.
Smoking: smoking status of people with long-term conditions (IND156)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with any or any combination of the following conditions: CHD, PAD, stroke or TIA, hypertension, diabetes, COPD, CKD or asthma, whose notes record smoking status 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 NM126
Lipids disorders: FH assessment (29 years and under) (IND203)
This indicator covers the percentage of people aged 29 years and under, with a total cholesterol concentration greater than 7.5 mmol/l that are assessed against the Simon Broome or Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN) criteria. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM182
