  1. Stroke and transient ischaemic attack in over 16s: diagnosis and initial management (NG128)

    This guideline covers interventions in the acute stage of a stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). It offers the best clinical advice on the diagnosis and acute management of stroke and TIA in the 48 hours after onset of symptoms.

  2. Prasugrel with percutaneous coronary intervention for treating acute coronary syndromes (TA317)

    Evidence-based recommendations on prasugrel (Efient) with percutaneous coronary intervention for treating acute coronary syndromes in adults.

  3. Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy for the diagnosis and management of angina and myocardial infarction (TA73)

    Evidence-based recommendations on myocardial perfusion scintigraphy for diagnosing and managing angina and myocardial infarction in adults.

  4. Recent-onset chest pain of suspected cardiac origin: assessment and diagnosis (CG95)

    This guideline covers assessing and diagnosing recent chest pain in people aged 18 and over and managing symptoms while a diagnosis is being made. It aims to improve outcomes by providing advice on tests (ECG, high-sensitivity troponin tests, multislice CT angiography, functional testing) that support healthcare professionals to make a speedy and accurate diagnosis.

  5. Secondary prevention after a myocardial infarction (QS99)

    This quality standard covers preventing further cardiovascular disease after a myocardial infarction (heart attack). It includes assessment and cardiac rehabilitation. It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.

  6. Sickle cell disease: managing acute painful episodes in hospital (CG143)

    This guideline covers managing acute painful sickle cell episodes in children, young people and adults who present at hospital, from presentation until when they are discharged. It aims to reduce variation in how acute episodes are managed in hospital, focusing on effective, prompt and safe pain relief.

  7. Pneumonia in adults: diagnosis and management (CG191)

    This guideline was developed before the COVID-19 pandemic. It covers diagnosing and managing pneumonia in adults who do not have COVID-19. It aims to improve accurate assessment and diagnosis of pneumonia to help guide antibiotic prescribing and ensure that people receive the right treatment.

  8. Ticagrelor for preventing atherothrombotic events after myocardial infarction (TA420)

    Evidence-based recommendations on ticagrelor (Brilique) for preventing atherothrombotic events after myocardial infarction in adults.

  9. Autologous pancreatic islet cell transplantation for improved glycaemic control after pancreatectomy (IPG274)

    Evidence-based recommendations on autologous pancreatic islet cell transplantation for improved glycaemic control after pancreatectomy. This involves removing parts of the pancreas (islet cells) after the pancreas has been removed and inserting them into the liver to restart insulin production.

  10. Acute coronary syndromes in adults (QS68)

    This quality standard covers diagnosing and managing acute coronary syndromes in adults (aged 18 and over). Acute coronary syndromes are medical emergencies that include myocardial infarction (heart attack) and unstable angina (unexpected, severe chest pain). It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.

  11. Myocardial infarction: measurement of ejection fraction (IND75)

    This indicator covers the proportion of patients with acute myocardial infarction with measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction before discharge. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as CCG94

  12. Myocardial infarction: coronary reperfusion (IND72)

    This indicator covers the proportion of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who had coronary reperfusion therapy. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as CCG91

  13. Myocardial infarction: PCI rates (IND74)

    This indicator covers the time between call for help and balloon inflation for patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing reperfusion by primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as CCG93

  14. The PressureWire fractional flow reserve measurement system for coronary artery disease (MIB2)

    NICE has developed a Medtech Innovation Briefing (MIB) on the PressureWire fractional flow reserve measurement system

  15. Uterine artery embolisation for fibroids (IPG367)

    Evidence-based recommendations on uterine artery embolisation for fibroids. This involves injecting small particles into the blood vessels that take blood to the uterus, via the groin.
