[The effectiveness of preventive counseling with the use of remote technologies on medical awareness of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with high and very high cardiovascular risk].

Purpos. To assess the effectiveness of preventive counseling with focus on diet modification followed by remote support via telephone on awareness of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors (RFs) in patients (pts) with high/very high CV risk. Material and methods.

[The efficacy of secondary prevention programs with remote support in coronary heart disease patients with abdominal obesity].

Unlabelled: Background Long-term secondary preventive programs in coronary heart disease (CHD) are of highest efficacy but numerous logistical problems often compromise their implementation. Contemporary remote technologies have a potential to overcome these barriers.

Aim: To assess  the impact of 2 preventive counselling programs with subsequent remote support in CHD patients with concomitant obesity.

[Preventive Counselling With the Use of Remote Technologies Provides Effective Control of Metabolic Risk Factors in Patients With High and Very High Cardiovascular Risk].

Purpose: to assess the impact of preventive counseling with focus on diet modification on lipid and metabolic parameters in patients with high / very high cardiovascular (CV) risk who visited Health centers.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective randomized controlled study of patients aged 40 to 65 years with high/very high CV risk (≥5% according to the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation scale [SCORE]) and any 2 criteria for metabolic syndrome. Patients were 1:1 randomized into 2 groups.

[Hallmarks of preventive counseling in coronary heart disease patients with abdominal obesity].

Patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and abdominal obesity (AO) are a priority group for the most active implementation of secondary prevention efforts. The paper focuses on most challenging issues of cardiovascular risk factors (RFs) correction via comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs in patients with CHD and AO. Based on large randomized clinical trials results, intensive behavioral interventions in the form of counselling are beneficial for such patients especially during the long-term support stage.
