AB Cardiovascular  disease  (CVD)  remains  the  leading  cause  of  death  in  women.1  Identification  of  risk  factors  is  the  first  step  toward  the  prevention  of  CVD.  The  2011  Effectiveness-Based  Guidelines  for  the  Prevention  of  Cardiovascular  Disease  in  Women  classifies  a  woman's  risk  status  as  either  high  risk,  at  risk,  or  ideal  cardiovascular  health.2  The  classic  high-risk  profile  includes  the  presence  of  any  of  the  following:  clinical  CVD,  cerebrovascular  disease,  peripheral  arterial  disease,  abdominal  aortic  aneurysm,  end-stage  or  chronic  kidney  disease,  diabetes  mellitus,  or  a  10-year  Framingham-predicted  CVD  risk  of  ≥10%.2  The  at-risk  profile  includes  having  any  of  the  following:  cigarette  use,  systolic  blood  pressure  (SBP)  ≥120  mm  Hg,  diastolic  blood  pressure  (DBP)  ≥80  mm  Hg,  treatment  for  hypertension,  total  cholesterol  ≥200  mg/dL,  high-density-lipoprotein  cholesterol  (HDL-C)  20  years  with  ≥150-min/wk  moderate  intensity  or  ≥75  min/wk  vigorous  intensity  exercise2  (see  Table  2-1).
