Healthcare delivery models for prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD)
March 2009
Key points
- The report focuses on healthcare delivery processes that address the prevention and primary care management of modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors.
- There is strong evidence to show the successful impact GP-led services can have on identifying high risk patients and providing behavioural and educational services that would mitigate risk.
This report provides international evidence for health service providers and commissioners about how services might best prevent cardiovascular disease.
This review gathers evidence from the UK and the US on screening and assessment risk for cardiovascular disease, health promotion efforts to decrease cardiovascular-disease risk and early interventions to reduce the risk among high-risk individuals.
