Prevensión cardiovascular y actitud de cambio frente a los factores de riesgo: un análisis crítico del estado actual

In recent years the main focus of cardiovascular prevention has been to identify people without clinical evidence of coronary disease, but with a high risk of developing a clinical event. Long term follow up studies show that a young person with a high "Relative Risk" of presenting a cardi...
