The PAVE Project: Determining the effectiveness of two secondary prevention interventions of cardiovascular disease

Summary

The aim of the project was tho determine the effectiveness of two register-based interventions in increasing the use of CVD medications by individuals who have had a CHD or stroke event, and in increasing GP provision of behavioural risk advice to such individuals. The study found the intervention was not effective in increasing participant use of recommended CVD medications or their receipt of GP behavioural risk advice. However the findings of the report are important as they demonstrate the feasibility of CVD registers in adopting a proactive approach to the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease.
