Increasing cardiovascular risk assessment in first degree relatives of patients with premature heart disease: An RCT

家族史是缺血性心脏病（IHD）的危险因素，特别是如果家族史包括早发性疾病。家庭有共同的遗传和环境风险因素，其中许多因素可以通过修改来降低患心脏病的风险。该项目的目的是试验一种干预措施，以促进心脏病患者亲属的心脏病风险评估。这是这些家庭预防心脏病的第一步。

Family history is a risk factor for ischaemic heart disease (IHD), especially if the history includes early onset disease. Families share both genetic and environmental risk factors, many of which can be modified to reduce the risk of heart disease. The aim of this project is to trial an intervention to promote heart disese risk assessment among the relatives of patients with premature heart disease. This is a first step toward prevention of heart disease in these families.
