• Blood pressure: confirm readings properly; emergency requires acute target-organ damage.
• Lipids: prevention is risk-based, not based on LDL-C alone.
• Diabetes: cardiovascular protection may be needed even when A1c is near target.
• Aspirin: primary prevention is different from secondary prevention.
• Lifestyle: smoking cessation, activity, diet, sodium reduction, and weight management remain core prevention tools.
