متن کاملDoes surveillance impact on cardiovascular prevention?
Many epidemiological projects and clinical trials on determinants of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been conducted to identify risk factors and demonstrate the reversibility of risk through actions directed at their reduction, both in healthy subjects and in patients with established CVDs. At the international level, the Seven Countries Study identified risk factors common ...
