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.
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.
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.

Ticagrelor for preventing atherothrombotic events after myocardial infarction (TA420)
Evidence-based recommendations on ticagrelor (Brilique) for preventing atherothrombotic events after myocardial infarction in adults.
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.

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.

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
Coil embolisation of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (HTG63)
Evidence-based recommendations on coil embolisation of unruptured intracranial aneurysms. This involves placing coils inside the aneurysm using a thin tube to make the blood clot so it is less likely to burst.
