1. No symptoms and three or more cardiovascular risk factors (excluding gender); a sedentary lifestyle is considered a risk factor
2. Moderate, stable angina
3. A recent heart attack (> 2 weeks but less than 6 weeks); in patients who have not undergone revascularization. The risk can be assessed with stress testing.
4. Asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction with left ventricular pumping ejection fraction <40 percent or New York Heart Association class II heart failure. 5. Non cardiac manifestations of atherosclerotic disease, such as peripheral vascular disease or prior stroke or transient ischemic attack.
