Key result
An international audit of 1,115 patients with established CHD revealed poor risk factor control, including high rates of physical inactivity (41-45%), overweight/obesity (59-78%), and smoking (15%).
Cross-Sectional (n=1,115)
Yes
The SURF audit demonstrates that secondary prevention of cardiovascular risk factors remains suboptimal globally, highlighting the need for ongoing, easy-to-implement monitoring systems.

Suboptimal risk factor control persists in CHD; leaves open effective implementation strategies for secondary prevention.
Cooney et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Established coronary heart disease (CHD) (n=1,115). Secondary prevention risk factors was evaluated on Risk factor control (physical inactivity, overweight/obesity, smoking, LDL cholesterol, blood pressure). An international audit of 1,115 patients with established CHD revealed poor risk factor control, including high rates of physical inactivity (41-45%), overweight/obesity (59-78%), and smoking (15%).
