Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Usual care of cardiovascular education of patients with increased
cardiovascular risk.
Patients' knowledge about cardiovascular risk after education
Patients' willingness to start cardiovascular risk lowering medication
Secondary outcome
Not applicable.
Background summary
Treatment of hypertension and increased cholesterol level reduces
cardiovascular risk. There are several education strategies to explain
cardiovascular risk and benefits of riskreducing treatment.
Study objective
In this trial, current usual care concerning cardiovascular education is
described. Second aim is to study what is understood of this education by the
patient. Last aim is to study what effect training of GP's on this subject will
have on the patients' cardiovascular knowledge and their decision to start risk
lowering medication.
Study design
Interventional study
Intervention
The study consists of two parts.
Part 1: observation by GP's in vocational training during their first year
(aios).
If a patient fulfills the criteria of high risk, the aios observes with the aid
of structured observation lists, which strategy the GP uses to educate his
patient about his cardiovascular risk.
Part 2: interviews by GP's in vocational training during their third year.
If patients fulfil the criteria of high risk, the aios interviews them with the
aid of a structured interview list. Aim is to register what patients
understand of the cardiovascular education they received and to study if
patients are willing to start with cardiovascular lowering medication. After
this, GP's will be trained on cardiovascular education to improve the quality
of cardiovascular education. Then again, (other) patients will be interviewed
after their cardiovascular education.
Study burden and risks
The burden of the patients exists of one interview of 10 minutes after a visit
to his GP. There is no risk associated with this interview.
