Abstract

The recognition that coronary heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease have a common origin in atherothrombosis is helping at-risk patients to be identified and helped. This paper looks at primary and secondary prevention strategies and describes an initiative to document the health status and treatment of all those at risk.
