| This multicenter European study will identify risk factors in coronary patients, their blood relatives and high risk individuals, describe their management through lifestyle and use of drug therapies and provide an objective assessment of clinical implementation of current scientific knowledge. All centres and countries, which participated in the first two surveys, will be invited to participate in EUROASPIRE III and the number of countries and centres will be increased to cover an even larger geographic area. In addition, the survey will be extended beyond coronary patients and first-degree blood relatives to include high-risk individuals in primary care with medically treated hypertension, dyslipidaemia and diabetes. In this way this third survey will cover the complete spectrum of preventive cardiology as defined in the guidelines: coronary patients, relatives and high-risk individuals. The EUROASPIRE III survey will give a unique European picture of preventive action by cardiologists, other specialists and primary care physicians looking after patients with coronary disease and their families, and individuals at high risk of CVD. | — |
