European heart disease prevention survey across hospitals and primary care

EUROASPIRE VI is a large European survey looking at how well doctors are managing cardiovascular disease prevention in patients with heart disease or at high risk of developing it. The study examines both people who have already had heart problems and those at high risk due to conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes. Researchers will review medical records and conduct interviews to understand current treatment practices and identify ways to improve patient care.

Heart disease remains a leading cause of death in Europe, and this research aims to see whether current medical guidelines are being followed and whether patients are reaching their treatment goals. By understanding real-world practice, doctors can identify gaps and improve how they prevent and manage heart disease.
