Very-high-risk patients had postmyocardial infarction with diabetes mellitus (DM), poststroke with DM or peripheral artery disease with DM. High-risk patients had coronary artery disease, cardiovascular disease, poststroke or DM. Moderate-risk patients had two or more risks plus either hypertension or dyslipidaemia.
