From CMAJ: Harmonization of guidelines for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease

Hi everyone, Now available from the Canadian Medical Association Journal: Harmonization of guidelines for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease: the C-CHANGE Initiative >From CMAJ: "With many guidelines available for risk management of cardiovascular disease, it can be difficult for physicians to determine which ones to use, which risk factors to address first and which treatment targets to follow. The C-CHANGE Initiative used a consensus model to harmonize and integrate more than 400 recommendations into a more manageable package of key recommendations. The authors stress that most patients at moderate and high risk of cardiovascular events will require a combination of modifications to health behaviours and pharmacologic interventions to meet treatment targets."
