Brief summary
This is a national, non interventional, prospective study performed in the general practice setting. The study has been designed : * to assess the level of concordance between patients' cardiovascular risk perception and the cardiovascular risk evaluated by the physicians, * and to evaluate the impact of patients' exposure to a medical information leaflet on patients' cardiovascular risk perception.
