EuroPRevent 2012

A closer look at the scientific programme tracks

The new 2012 European Guidelines on Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Clinical practice will be launched at EuroPRevent 2012 together with dedicated educational and implementation programmes.

The theme and tracks follow the cycle of the scientific evidence base that increases knowledge and informs guidelines through the Guidelines themselves to implementation strategies and audit.

Research
Guidelines
Implementation
Audit

Basic and translational research underpins the evidence base for the production of Guidelines. This will run throughout the congress, in sessions on basic and translational research, workshops and how-to sessions, in oral and poster presentations, and in symposia on the new Joint European Guidelines on the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in clinical practice.

Guidelines are of little value without a practical implementation strategy. This will be dealt with in a multidisplinary way, through presentations of the EACPR implementation strategy, the launch of a new Prevention Toolkit, an interactive on-line Guideline Learning Tool, the HeartScore 2 interactive risk assessment tool, and sessions on the social and political aspects of implementation.

Where are we now?

Audit informs us with regard to the effectiveness of our prevention strategies. Time will be given to benchmarking and audit projects such as EuroAspire and the new 60 second audit called SURF. Quality assurance projects such as HeartQol will be presented.
