Structured management of adult cardiovascular risk factors in outpatient care

Official title: Effect of a Structured Clinical and Pharmacological Management Strategy on Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Adult Patients in Routine Clinical Practice: A Pseudo-Experimental Before-and-After Study

Run by Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia · NCT07447362 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will try a structured clinic approach to managing blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and weight in adults with cardiovascular risk factors to see if it improves risk control and outcomes.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18 or older who attend the outpatient cardiology clinic and have at least one cardiovascular risk factor (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, or smoking) and can give informed consent are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are pregnant, require hospitalization for severe clinical instability, are on dialysis for end-stage renal disease, cannot complete follow-up visits, or refuse participation are unlikely to receive benefit from this program.

What this trial studies

This before-and-after interventional project follows adults attending an outpatient cardiology clinic who have one or more cardiovascular risk factors. Patients receive standard cardiology care while clinical data are collected under a structured cardiovascular risk management program. Outcomes and risk-factor control before and after implementing the structured approach will be compared to identify predictors of adverse events and opportunities to optimize prevention. No experimental drugs are given and routine treatment is not altered by the protocol.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the program could improve routine control of blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and weight and thereby reduce future heart attacks and strokes.

How similar studies have gone: Prior clinic-based, structured risk-management and quality-improvement programs have often produced modest to meaningful improvements in risk-factor control, so this approach builds on partially successful methods.
