Cardiovascular Risk Profile of People seeking care in a Specialist clinic compared with a primary health cantre

The burden of cardiovasclar disease is quite high and it is responsible for more than 20 million deaths. It is unclear whether people at risk for these conditions are adequately treated or even aware of their risk profile.

The aim of this research is to determine the risk of cerbrovascular accidents,heart attacks  and other cardiovascular related diseases and death in patients seeking care in specialist hospitals and those who seek care in primary health centres .The study will also compare the calculated risk with the treatment given to each individual,furthermore it will be determined if the medical facility a person attends determines adequacy of treatment.

Patients will come from LASUTH in the Internal Medicine outpatient departments ,the Family Medicine and surrounding primary health centres. The WHO/ISH risk score chart will be used to categorize the individuals into low ,middle and high risk. 

We expect that the results of this research to impact management of patients with cardiovascular risk factors
