The initial Guide to the Primary Prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) was published in 1997 as an aid to healthcare professionals and their patients without established coronary artery disease or other atherosclerotic diseases (1). The 2002 update of the Guide acknowledges a number of advances in the field of primary prevention since 1997. Research continues to refine the recommendations on detection and management of established risk factors, including evidence against the safety and efficacy of interventions once thought promising (eg, antioxidant vitamins) (2). This, in turn, has stimulated a large number of additional guidelines for specific demographic groups (eg, women), on individual risk factors (eg, diabetes, smoking), and for the primary prevention of stroke. In all of these guidelines, there is an increasing emphasis on further stratifying patients by the level of risk and matching the intensity of intervention to the hazard for cardiovascular disease events (3). Therefore, the 2002 update of the Primary Prevention Guide serves to integrate other guidelines and consensus statements developed since the initial Guide’s approval. Although the benefit of aspirin for patients with known cardiovascular disease is well established (4), the question of whether or not aspirin reduces the risk for cardiovascular disease in persons without known cardiovascular disease is controversial. In 2006, six trials with a total of 95,456 individuals were identified; 3 trials included only men, 1 included only women, and 2 included both sexes (5) to determine the benefits and risks of aspirin treatment in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
