Emphasizes hypertension control, smoking cessation, and lipid management in CVD prevention; leaves open updated weighting in contemporary cohorts.
This review emphasizes the synergistic impact of multiple modifiable risk factors on cardiovascular risk, highlighting the importance of comprehensive risk evaluation and targeted therapy.
R W Gifford (1993) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia) was evaluated on Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension, smoking, and dyslipidemia, synergistically increase the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
