Disease and conditions 

Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction is medical emergency characterized with chest pain that is increasing in frequency and/or severity or occurring at rest.

Unstable angina is a medical emergency and if untreated can progress to Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) 11, 12, 13.

Mostly from clinical history characterized by chest pain due to myocardial ischaemia usually inducible by exercise, emotion or other stress and reproducible, relieved by rest but may occur spontaneously and stable in nature.

Dyslipidemia is defined as having blood lipid levels that are too high or low. Lowering blood cholesterol levels using statins is recommended to reduce the impact of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention is a coordinated set of actions, at the population level or targeted at an individual at risk of developing cardiovascular disease, that are aimed at eliminating or minimizing the impact of CVDs and their related disabilities.

Hypertension that remains >140/90mmHg despite the use of 3 antihypertensive drugs in a rational combination at full doses and including a diuretic i.e. thiazide.

Symptomatic severe hypertension SBP 180mmHg and/or DBP >110 mmHg with evidence of Target Organ Damage or grade III/IV Retinopathy with no immediate life–threatening neurological or cardiac complication such seen in emergencies

A marked elevated systolic blood pressure SBP ≥ 180mmHg and/or a diastolic DBP ≥130mmHg associated with life threatening situations.
