Determinants of risk factor control in patients with coronary heart disease in Europe
At the Institute of Public Health data from EUROASPIRE is evaluated to find out which factors are important factors influencing cardiovascular risk and lifestyle factors in patients with coronary heart disease. In addition, the influence of regional socio-economic factors on the risk factor profile is assessed.

EUROASPIRE (EUROpean Action on Secondary and Primary Prevention through Intervention to Reduce Events) is a series of large European multicenter studies in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) led by Prof. Kornelia Kotseva and Prof. David Wood at Imperial College London.
Aim of analyses based on the EUROASPIRE data coordinated by PD Dr. Christof Prugger at the Institute of Public Health is to identify important determinants in the control of cardiovascular risk and lifestyle factors in CHD patients. Previous work has focused on determinants of blood pressure control, smoking cessation, and regular physical activity. At present, the influence of regional socio-economic factors on the cardiovascular risk factor profile of CHD patients from EUROASPIRE is being investigated as part of the data analyses.
