Background: Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in Iran. We need a suitable clinical guideline to prevent and control CVD.
Methods: We selected final guideline in 4 steps and started with searching electronic resources, related webs and data banks. After initial assessment, we applied Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation II (AGREE) appraisal instrument to appraise selected guidelines. Finally adaptation process of guideline finished with extraction of main questions and recommendations.
Results: Recommendations are provided in 2 parts: life style management and clinical-therapeutic guides for hyperlipidemia and hypertension. People are advised to have moderate to severe aerobic physical activities 3-4 times weekly for 40 minutes per session. For primary prevention, non- diabetic people with LDL-C ranges 170-189 mg/dl, should consume statins. Also we advised them to estimate cardio vascular 10 years risks with their health providers.
Conclusion: Dietary patterns reduce blood pressure independently in comparison with low diet sodium and weight reduction. We must encourage people to adjust recommended dietary plans with their cultural and personal preferences.
