• 1 other identifier: ASO.Card.23.01
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 271
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to describe the association between the perception of cardiovascular (CV) risk and the actual CV risk and, secondarily, to detect the actual CV risk to assess the prevalence of clinical risk factors, determined by means of appropriate instruments.

Conditions

Cardiovascular Diseases; Heart Diseases

Outcome Measures

  Screening

• Patient Health Questionnaire-4

  Screening for the uptake of psychological symptoms of anxiety or depression in the primary care setting

  Screening

• Duke-UNC Functional Social Support Questionnaire

  Strength of affective support derived from people close to the enrolled subjects

  Screening

Secondary Outcomes (4)
