However, unsatisfactory rates of adherence to treatment for CVD risk factors and CVD have been observed consistently over the last few decades. Hence, achieving optimal adherence to lifestyle measures and guideline-directed medical therapy in secondary prevention and rehabilitation is a great challenge to many healthcare professionals. Therefore, in this European Association of Preventive Cardiology clinical consensus document, a modern reappraisal of the adherence to optimal treatment is provided, together with simple, practical, and feasible suggestions to achieve this goal in the clinical setting, focusing on evidence-based concepts. | Keywords: | Cardiovascular disease;Cardiovascular risk;Secondary prevention;Adherence | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/37938 | ISSN: | 2047-4873 | e-ISSN: | 2047-4881 | DOI: | 10.1093/eurjpc/zwac204 | ISI #: | WOS:000861564600001 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2023 |
