Structured PICO

Do cardiovascular prevention interventions improve endothelial function?

Population

Individuals targeted for cardiovascular prevention

Intervention

Cardiovascular prevention interventions including diet, lipid-lowering therapy (statins), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, hormone replacement therapy, vitamin E, and physical exercise

Outcome

Improvement in endothelial functionsurrogate

Multifactorial risk factor modification, including statins, ACE inhibitors, and lifestyle changes, plays a key role in cardiovascular prevention by improving vascular endothelial function.
