"How can we make a difference in clinical practice to improve outcomes?"Dr. Andrew P. Selwyn (biography)
English - 2004-06-04 - 11 minutes
|
 | (3 slides) |
Summary :
Dr. Selwyn points out the rising incidence of cardiovascular disease and diabetes in the last few years, and the problem of lack of compliance observed in patients with known cardiovascular disease who receive no medication for secondary prevention of CVD events. To address this problem a Cardiac Hospital Atherosclerosis Management Program (CHAMP) was carried out and this resulted in a significant increase in the use of medication. Furthermore, a comprehensive diabetes management program including risk stratification as described by Clark et al has been effective in improving clinical outcomes in diabetic patients.
