Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To evaluate connection between GP's estimation of cardiovascular risk and theoretical calculation (according to guidelines and validated scales (such as risk score profile in the Framingham Heart study or the SCORE risk estimation))	At the end of the study

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To estimate the number of cardiovascular risk patients, that have not been identified	At the end of the study
To characterize those patients according to their theoretical cardiovascular risk (high, medium, low)	At the end of the study
to reveal GP's estimation of cardiovascular risk is especially driven by LDL	At the end of the study
