Key result
Seven to eight years after a brief cardiovascular prevention intervention, the proportion of participants with low cardiovascular risk significantly decreased from 74.5% to 40.3%.
Why the study?
Does a brief intervention on cardiovascular prevention followed by usual care improve long-term cardiovascular risk factors and morbidity?
Cohort (n=318)
Yes

Brief intervention plus usual care was associated with declining low-risk proportion over 7 years; leaves open whether sustained strategies reduce events.
Devroey et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in Cardiovascular risk factors (n=318). Brief cardiovascular prevention intervention vs. Baseline (2002-2003) was evaluated on Proportion of patients with low cardiovascular risk (SCORE < 5%) (p=<0.001). Seven to eight years after a brief cardiovascular prevention intervention, the proportion of participants with low cardiovascular risk significantly decreased from 74.5% to 40.3%.
