Are high altitude populations at high risk of heart disease? A cross-sectional study in Nepal

Abstract

calculators integrated into computer systems and the active use of data/audit feedback to providers Innovative approaches to accessing patients Conclusion: The gains, while largely positive, have not been without debate. For example, many assessments have been non-face-to-face, and some wonder about the level of follow-up given the target’s focus on assessment rather than management. Guidelines were also updated to better reflect contemporary evidence and practice. The key focus for 2015 and beyond is to shift from an adapted Framingham based risk equation to a New Zealand specific equation. This presentation will review these success factors, progress to date with CVD Risk and potential next steps.
