Home About us Research Health info News & events Contact us Trial patients Privacy Preventing cardiovascular events with research Personalised medicine for coronary heart disease EU-funded CoroPrevention project aims to discover long-term behaviour changes and lifestyle improvements as well as medications needed by individual patients with coronary heart disease to prevent another cardiovascular event. The project’s objective is to significantly reduce premature deaths and severe disabilities in patients
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for 47% of deaths in women and 39% of deaths in men worldwide. CVDs cost the EU more than €210 billion a year, a sum expected to escalate with an ageing population and the cost of novel therapies. We estimate that the CoroPrevention programme will reduce the cardiovascular event rate by 25% in high-risk patients – with annual savings of tens of billions of euros to the EU.
