Three key modifiable factors determine cardiovascular risk: blood pressure, lipid profile and smoking. That’s according to Ian Graham who summarized the latest European Society of Cardiology guidelines for preventing heart disease. Other factoirs including the metabolic syndrome, gender, body mass index and activity levels generally also involve the three master factors, and there are big benefits to be gained from modifying each of the key factors singly even when a patient can’t change one or more of them. Peter Goodwin discussed the new guidelines with Professor Ian Graham during the cardiology conference in Vienna.
